Item description from seller

Contents: 1. Introduction. 2. Kimberlites and related rocks in the Dharwar craton. 3. Kimberlites and related rocks in Bundelkhand Aravalli Craton. 4. Lamproites and related rocks of the Bastar Craton. 5. Lamproites and Lamprophyres of the Gondwana coalfields. 6. Lamprophyres of the Assam-Meghalaya Plateau. References.

In contrast, a significant amount of data have been published in Indian periodicals and government reports which are not easily accessible to geologists outside the subcontinent. The book is comprised of six chapters. The first gives a brief account of Indian geology, distribution of Kimberlites, Lamproites and lamprophyres in India, and the IUGS recognized definitions of these rocks. Chapters 2,3,4,5 and 6 provide information on diamonds, Kimberlites and related rocks occurring in the Dharwar, Aravalli-Bundelkhand and Bastar cratons, the Gondwana coalfield Lamproites and lamprophyres of the Northeastern region, respectively.…
