BRIEFING BOOK CENTRAL REGION
(For the period ending December 2010)
1. INTRODUCTION The Central Region of Geological Survey of India was established on 1st August, 1967
with the Circle Offices at Madhya Pradesh (including the Circle Office of the present State of
Chhattisgarh) and Maharashtra having headquarters at Bhopal and Pune respectively. The
circle offices were mainly involved with the systematic geological mapping and assessment
of mineral resources. At the Regional Headquarters specialised divisions like Engineering
Geology, Map compilation, Geophysical investigation, Chemical Laboratory and Drilling
were established.
Central Region covers geographical area of 0.751 million sq km in the states of
Maharashtra (3,07,713 sq km), Madhya Pradesh (3,08,150 sq km) and Chhattisgarh (1,35,195
sq km).
Over the years, the Central Region has exapanded its activities and set up its offices at
Raipur, Jabalpur, Bhopal, Pune with the Headquarters in Nagpur. The activity was further
expanded to Photogeology & Remote Sensing, Regional Integrated Survey, Quaternary &
Environmental Geology and the Geodata Division equipped with LAN and WAN
connectivity including IP Phones.
Geologically it represents:
- Archaean Rocks, hosting a majority of mineral occurrences in Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra & Madhya Pradesh.
- Proterozoic Rocks, including limestones and diamondiferous conglomerates of the Vindhyan in Madhya Pradesh.
- Gondwana Sequence , a storehouse for coal-lignite and refractory clays. - Deccan Continental Flood Basalts: Late Cretaceous-Early Palaeocene: lava flows
covering Peninsular shield in Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra & Chhattisgarh and
associated sedimentaries represented by Lameta and intertrappean beds.

GEOLOGICAL CONTEXT
Geologically, the Central Region mainly comprises parts of the peninsula shield and
coastal areas.
CHHATTISGARH
Geologically, Chhattisgarh constitutes rock formations ranging in age from Archaean
to Recent. Northern Crustal Province (NCP) and the Southern Crustal Province (SCP)
separated by East-West trending Central Indian Shear Zone (CISZ) are the important and
major tectonic features.
The oldest rocks in the NCP i.e. the granite gneisses and the enclaves of igneous and
sedimentary rocks of Archaean age are confined to southern part of the Province in the
Bilaspur-Raigarh belt. The NCP is devoid of any volcano-sedimentary sequence and
Proterozoic cover rocks, unlike the SCP. The Gneisses and granitoids exposed to the east of
Mahanadi basin are designated as Chhotanagpur Gneissic Complex Though the younger
sequences of Upper Carboniferous to Lower Cretaceous Gondwana rocks are well developed
in the Mahanadi and South Rewa basins, north of Baikuntapar in Surguja area, these two
basins merge together. Lameta Group is exposed in the Amarkantak plateau region below the
Deccan Trap. Remnants of Deccan Trap occur in the plateaus in the western and northeastern
parts of Bilaspur District and southeastern and eastern part of Surguja District. Laterite and
bauxite pockets occur at Jamirapat and Manipatin, Surguja District and Phutka Pahar, Korba
District. Quaternary alluvium is confined to major river valleys.
The SCP is an Archaean to Neoproterozoic assembly of lithotectonic association
comprising Archaean to Palaeoproterozoic Bengpal, Sukma, Bailadila, Sonakhan Groups,
gneiss-granitoids and younger Meso to Neoproterozoic cover rocks of Chhattisgarh,
Indravati, and Pakhal Groups. Together they constitute the Bastar Craton. Palaeoproterozoic
volcanic rocks of Nandgaon Group extend in N-S direction into the western part of bordering
Maharashtra. The Dongargarh and its equivalent granites in Madanbera and Kanker- Mainpur
areas occupy major portion of South Central part of the state. Volcano sedimentary sequence
of Khairagarh and Abujhmar Groups and sediments of Chilpi Group belonging to Palaeo-
Mesoproterozoic unconformably overlie the older sequences and the granites in the Maikala
Range and Abujhmar plateau region. The Mesoproterozoic Pakhal Supergroup occupies the
Godavari valley region in the southwestern part bordering Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra.
The Meso-Neoproterozoic Chhattisgarh Group of Rocks occupies the plains of Chhattisgarh
region. The cover sediments of Indravati-Sabari-and Pairi Groups are equivalent of Indravati
Group and occupy the Jagdalpur plateau. Rocks of kimberlite affinity intrude in to the
BRIEFING BOOK - CENTRAL REGION - (For the period ending December 2010)

Indravati and Khariar sediments and in the gneisses some of which are diamondiferous.
Laterite and bauxite form cappings at number of places over these rocks in Keskal- Amabera
areas.
The state of Chhattisgarh is endowed with rich mineral wealth particularly the iron
ore, coal, bauxite, limestone, tin and diamond. A wide range of mineral resources offering
considerable opportunity for the entrepreneurs is found in the state. GSI is presently focusing
its activities in the state for exploration of fertilizer minerals including rock phosphates. A
sponsored item for establishing iron ore reserves of Aridongri area under MoU with CGMDC
is in progress.
MADHYA PRADESH
Madhya Pradesh as a part of Central Indian Shield (CIS) contains the rocks ranging
from Archaean to Phanerozoic age. The Central Indian Shield is divided into two broad
tectonic domains i.e. the Northern Crustal Province (NCP) and the Southern Crustal Province
(SCP)- by a long crustal scale curvilinear ENE-WSW trending ductile shear zone called
Central Indian Shear Zone (CISZ) which continues from southwest of Balaghat to north of
Bilaspur in Chhattisgarh. Son-Narmada-Tapti valley (SONATA) forms a major zone of
tectonic activities in this region.
The oldest litho-assemblages of Archaeans mainly consist of the gneissic
complexes viz. Bundelkhand, Amgaon, Sidhi, Alirajpur, Betul Gneissic Complex and Tirodi
Gneisses. The Palaeo to Neoproterozoic cover sediments are represented by Mahakoshal
Group, Sausar Group covering parts of Balaghat and Chhindwara districts, Aravalli
Supergroup in Jahabua District, Volcano-sedimentary sequence of Betul belt, Nandgaon
Group in Balaghat District, Malanjkhand, Bijawar Group in Sagar, Chhatarpur and Harda
districts, Gwalior Group in Gwalior District, Chilpi Group in Balaghat District and Vindhyan
Supergroup covers parts of Sidhi, Rewa, Satna, Panna, Chhatarpur, Sagar, Bhopal Shivpuri
and Guna districts along with the Dongargarh granites in Balaghat District.
Late Palaeozoic- Mesozoic (200- 100 Ma) sequences are represented by
Gondwana Supergroup, Bagh Group and Lameta Formation. The Gondwana hosts many
important coal fields in the Satpura region. Bagh Beds (100 Ma) in Dhar, Jhabua and
Khargone districts rich in faunal remains like bivalves, gastropods, ammonites and echinoids.
The Lameta Formation preserves excellent vertebrate fossils including dinosaur nesting sites.
Deccan Flood Basalt Sequences (DCFB) (Upper Cretaceous-Palaeogene)
mostly comprising basaltic flows and associated sedimentary beds cover a major part of
southern and western part of the state. Laterite cover of Cenozoic period occurs as capping on
BRIEFING BOOK - CENTRAL REGION - (For the period ending December 2010)

the high plateaus formed by Deccan Traps. All the aluminum deposits in the state have
formed in the Cenozoic rocks. The Quaternary sediments of Narmada valley has yielded 500,
000 years old skull of Narmada man (Homo erectus narmadensis) from Hathnora in Sehore
District.
The state is blessed with bountiful mineral resources including Coal, Bauxite,
Limestone, Dolomite, Rock phosphate, Copper, Lead, Zinc, Manganese, Iron ores, Diaspore,
Pyrophyllite and Diamond. More than half of the countrys manganese production comes
from the state. The state is also bestowed with huge reserves of coal in Sidhi, Singhrauli,
Shahdol, Umariya and Chhindwara districts. Presently, the only diamond producing mines in
India are located in Panna District. Establishing resources for Copper deposits in
Malanjkhand in Balaghta District is the most significant contribution of GSI to the National
Mineral Wealth. Prospects of base metals have been proved by GSI in recent years in the
Betul Belt. Sizeable resources of gold associated with copper, silver and lead have also been
established recently in the Imaliya Block of Katni District. A large economically viable
reserve of Refractory, SMS and BF grade low-silica dolomite proved by GSI of Sagar and
Chhatarpur districts is a boon to the iron and steel industries.
MAHARASHTRA
Maharashtra exhibits a spectrum of stratigraphic sequences of rocks ranging from
Archaean to Quaternary. The oldest Archaean gneisses, variously designated as Amgaon
Gneiss, Bengpal Gneiss, Tirodi Gneiss and Peninsular Gneiss are well exposed in different
parts of the state. The Archaean gneissic complex is unconformably overlain by the
metamorphosed volcano-sedimentary rocks of Sakoli Group and banded ferruginous
quartzite, metapelites, quartzites of Archaean to Palaeoproterozoic age. The 3000 m thick
unfosiliferous plateformal cover sediments exposed along Godavari valley is classified into
Pakhal, Penganga and Sullavahi groups. Basic and ultrabasic rocks exposed in Sindhudurg
District are considered to be an extension of the Chitradurga Group of rocks of Karnataka and
Goa.
The Palaeoproterozoic acid volcanics and volcanoclastics of Nandgaon Group are
exposed in the easternmost Gondia and Gadchiroli districts, is intruded by Dongargarh
Granite (2500 m.y.). Palaeo to Mesoproterozoic Khairagarh Group is consisting of bimodal
volcano-sedimentaries unconformably overly on the Dongargarh Granite. The rocks of
Sausar Group occur in Nagpur and Bhandara districts exposed in a 75 km wide and 210 km
long belt extending into Madhya Pradesh.
BRIEFING BOOK - CENTRAL REGION - (For the period ending December 2010)

The Late Palaeozoic to Mesozoic fluvial sedimentary sequence of Gondwana
Supergroup is exposed in the Wardha Valley region of Chandrapur, Yavatmal and
Gadchiroli districts extending northward in Kamthi and Umrer areas of Nagpur District.
A minor proportion of fossiliferous sedimentary rocks of the marine Bagh Formation
and freshwater Lameta Formation are exposed below the Deccan Flood Basalt Sequences
(DCFB). A major part of Maharashtra is covered by with tholeiitic basalts of DCFB (Upper
Cretaceous to Palaeocene). The DCFB associated with intertrappean sediments are classified
as Sahyadri Group and Satpura Group.
The Quaternary deposits are mainly confined in Tapti, Purna and Godavari valleys
and the fluviomarine deposits in the west coast. Laterite cappings cover almost all the rock
formations but mostly over the Deccan Trap basalts.
The eastern and southwestern parts of Maharashtra are occupied by stratigraphically
older rock formations forming a repository of vast mineral wealth including manganese, coal,
sillimanite, kyanite, copper, dolomite, limestone, bauxite and iron ore. GSI has remained
involved with the mineral investigations for gold, tin-tunsten and basemetals and established
the resources. Presently, the activities of GSI are more focused on mineral exploration for
base metals and PGE (Platinum Group Elements) in Chandrapur and Gadchiroli districts. The
geothermal prospects established along west coast are future potential for harnessing
geothermal energy.

assessing its effect on the biodiversity, the sediments associated with Deccan
Continental Flood Basalt (DCFB) Sequences of Wardha-Yeotmal-Nanded;
Chhindwara -Mandla - Jabalpur and Lower Narmada/Bagh valley in Dhar-Khargone
diustricts, were taken-up. The study remained focused on palynology and dinosaur
fauna- that are the two reliable tools for correlation. The study has resulted in
providing time constraints for determining the age of the different formations of the
various groups (Sahyadri, Amarkantak, Satpura and Malwa groups) of DCFB.
Environmental and climatic changes from semiarid with strong seasonality to
inceasing humid across the Deccan Volcanic transition are indicated. Different
palynoevents including first appearance of diatoms and dinoflagellates in freshwater
Late cretaceous (Maastrhitan/29R) and appearance of fungal spike zone have been
recorded. Presence of a major sea-way across central India in Palaeocene time has
been recorded based on the presence of planktic forams in intertrappean sediments of
Jhilmili (Chhindwara). Based on the studies a spatio-tempral correlation of the DCFB
sequences of different geographically separated subprovinces has been established.
The items are continued in FS 2010-12.
The item on the preparation and study of the undescribed dinosaur bones in the collection of Indian Museum, Kolkata, has resulted in identifying one new species of
Abelisaurid theropod and one species of a smaller theropod (Laevisuchus). The
original fossil site excavated in 1917-1920 by Charles Matley was rediscovered at
Chotta Simla, Jabalpur, based on the archieves from British Museum of London. This
item is taken up as a new item to carry out Taxonomic revision and to describe the
new Abelisaurid Theropod during FS 2010-12.
Petrology: During F.S. 2009-10 Investigation has been taken-up for detailed petrographic studies of mineralized zones, alteration zones and associated rock types
of BanskhapaPipariya block in Betul belt, Madhya Pradesh. Intense wall rock
alterations are recorded on the surface as well as core samples due to pervasive
hydrothermal activity. The main wall rock alterations viz. chloritization, biotitization,
sericitization, sausaritization, silicification and epidotization are present. The sulphide
mineral assemblage recorded includes sphalerite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena,
covellite, pyrrhotite, along with gold. However, oxides are also recorded viz., zincite-
franklite, goethite and hematite.Release of sphalerite from probably Zn rich biotite

and breakdown of gahnite is recorded.At least four phases of mineralization is
recorded based on textural relationship between ore minerals and also between ore
and gangue minerals. All the four phases studied are conspicuously related to
hydrothermal activity.
During the current FS 2010-12 new item on Petrography and geochemistry of mafic-ultramafic suite of rocks with emphasis on evolution and associated mineralization of
Mordongri area in eastern part of Betul belt, Chhindwara district, Madhya Pradesh
has been taken up.

Museum and Curatorial Activities:
The Central Region a has a Regional Museum and Curatorial Division located at Nagpur
having the rock, mineral and fossil specimens displayed in a manner following a specific
stratigraphic theme. Detailed information on the occurrence of minerals in the Central Region
has been displayed both as posters and back-lits. The museum has a distinction of having a vast
collection of diverse type dinosaur eggs. Importantly, the Museum has acquired a life size-model
(in fiber-glass) of a Late Cretaceous snake (Sanajeh indicus) predating upon a sauropod
hatchling inside a nest. The model is based on the preparation and study of the snake fossil under
a joint collaborative programme involving GSI, C.R. and University of Michigan Museum of
Palaeontology (UMMP) under MoU. The model has been presented by UMMP to GSI. There are
large number of visitors including the students both at school and college levels, researchers and
professional. The specimens in the Museum are also made available to the students and
researchers as a reference material.
In addition museums are also located in the operational offices at Bhopal, Jabalpur and
Pune highlighting the local geology and mineral occurrence.
Recently Home Theatre for Audio-video presentation to visitors has been procured, also
added to plastic model of Snake predating dinosaur eggs and some specimens & exhibits to the
museum.
GSI, C.R. was involved in establishing the Prehistoric Gallery in the Museum Park of the
Raman Science Centre, Nagpur- a Regional Museum under National Science Council.

14. ESTATE MATTERS The Central Region has its own office buildings at Nagpur, Bhopal, Jabalpur, Raipur &
Pune. Besides this there are residential quarters at Pune & Jabalpur.
Excluding Raipur, all other office buildings are 20 or more years old and in need of
regular maintenance every year. Earlier CPWD used to maintain these building from the budget
grant received by it from the union Govt. Since last three or four years the CPWD has been
treating routine maintenance as deposit work( due to scarcity of funds with them) & asking for
budget allotment for the same. The CRO has been given meager budget allotment under minor
works head during last few years. As such no routine maintenance has been done through
CPWD. As a result, the buildings are in pathetic condition profusely leaking, sanitary and
plumbing lines have been damaged extensively, boundary & parapet walls weakened. Street
lighting, old electrical wiring has weakened /damaged especially in chemical labs due to acidic
fumes. This situation is creating problems every now & then in smooth functioning of office.
