Abstract

The Cauvery Basin is a pericratonic rift basin situated along the south eastern part of Indian peninsula. With exploration shifting focus to synrift sediments, there is a greater need to understand the reservoir depocentres and source facies distribution. The present study was taken up with the objective of reconstructing the stage wise paleogeographic maps of the synrift sediments from Oxfordian to Albian. The study is based on depositional environments inferred from palynofloral associations, corroborated with lithological attributes and electro log motifs.
