Pleistocene Geology of Narmada river basin
Sediment samples were collected is from the right Bank of Narmada river near Hathnora village. Prior C14 dating of shell from the same layer has yielded a date of 35 Ka. The concerned section comprises an alternating sequence of slit, sand, and clay, denoting a typical low energy fluvial context. The sediments are mottled gray-pink-white-brown in color and also contains calcrete nodules and seems to be underlain by a cemented sandy-pebbly gravel layer dominated by pebbles of quartzite and other material.
