    Abstract: Several diverse models and hypotheses have been proposed to understand the dynamics of the Central African Pan-African Belt. The lack of agreement among these proposals suggests that it would be better to continue large scale mapping to provide answers to this regional issue. In this perspective, the NE-SW oriented Yandingui-Yangba rock massif, loc... Show More

Kutch due its passive continental setting, has experienced multiple transgressive and regressive events on its carbonate platform, and was favourable for the growth and preservation of var...
