Abstract

The paper gives the results of the investigations carried out, both in the laboratory as well as in the field, aided by aerial photointerpretation on the scale of 1:55,000. The are investigated is to the west of Gokak, town, Belgaum district, Karnataka state. The study helped in demarcating the areal limits of the major lithounits exposed within the area. However it was not possible to delineate all the numerous basic and acidic intrusive bodies, which are exposed in the area, intruding the Dharwarian metasediments. This interpretative exercise has also thrown significant light on the palaeotopography of the basement on which the Kaladgi sediments were deposited.
