Abstract
The four lithofacies namely, i) basal massive diamictite, ii) stratified diamictite and sandstones, iii) mediumto fine-grained sandstones and iv) siltstones-shale, are noted from Talchir Formation of the Koradi area, Maharashtra, Central India. The basal massive diamictites that are laterally discontinuous, unstratified and matrix- to clast-supported represent the continental tills. These deposits are inferred to be deposited under subglacial conditions by grounded ice during ice retreat. The stratified diamictite and sandstones unit shows the decrease in the boulder and cobble clasts and increase in pebble clasts. These are deposited by melting of glaciers at outwash plains. Medium- to fine-grained sandstones are associated with the very thin, fine-grained sand and clay layering (varves). These deposits represent glaciolacustrine depositional conditions in the glacial regions, caused by the development of still water bodies and even ice-dammed lakes.
