Abstract

Geophysical methods are tools to unravel concealed geological features that enhance knowledge. Heliborne time domain electromagnetic (TDEM) survey carried out over volcano-sedimentary sequence of Palaeoproterozoic Bijawar basin indicated presence of conductor in the western part of the basin. Subsequently boreholes drilled intercepted rhythmites made up of carbonaceous shale and dolomite within Bajno dolomite Formation. Measurement of conductivity on core samples established the high conductive carbonaceous shale as the contributor for TDEM response. TDEM signature indicate widespread presence of rhythmites in the western part of Bijawar basin reflecting different hydrodynamic condition from other parts of Bajno dolomite. Thus, Bajno dolomite Formation is classified into two members viz. Tigoda member and Sarwa member.
