Title Shelf progradation : Interpretation from seismic facies of eastern India
 
Creator Bandyopadhyay, Amitava
 
Description 19-26
Analyses of
shallow seismic profiles on
the outer continental shelf, between Krishna and Godavari valleys off central east cost of India, reveal prograding sedimentary
sequences on the shelf as well as on the flanks of the valleys. The progradation
on the outer shelf is associated with palaeovalleys. A non-depositional /
erosional unconformity surface has been recognised throughout the shelf at
20-25m subsurface. This is followed by a transgressive sequence of
progradational sediments deposited during rising eustatic sea level accompanied
by subsidence of the sea floor.
