The gravity and magnetic data are used for the study were acquired under National Geophysical Mapping (NGPM) program of Geological Survey of India (GSI) covering an area of 6300 Km2 during field season period 2012-14. The Sakoli and Sausar fold belts are the main structural domains in the area and well known for polyphase deformation activities. The metallic and non-metallic mineralization occurrences are also reported in these structural domains. The important feature, Central India Shear (CIS), demarcated as lineament F6-F6’ is observed as steep gradient in Bouguer gravity anomaly map. Radially average power spectrum (RAPS) analysis of the gravity and magnetic data may be suggested average depth of basement around 4.5 Km and average depth of Sakoli and Sausar belts around 1.25 Km.<#LINE#>Dahanayake, K., & Subasinghe, S.

A geoelectrical resistivity approach was utilised to identify the groundwater-bearing fractured zones that sustain the groundwater seepage in the research area in order to map the spatial distribution of seepage zones. Seven vertical and five horizontal geoelectrical cross-sections were prepared to delineate the groundwater-bearing fractured zones in the study area. The information obtained from the geoelectrical cross-sections provides insights into highly weathered, semi-fractured, and groundwater-saturated fractured zones that are characterised from surface to deeper depths in the area. Weathered formations frequently come into contact with the surface soil layer directly beneath, which rises to greater depths. In order to determine the range of resistivity of the formations in the research area, the layer characteristics of geoelectrical soundings are correlated with the closest accessible borehole lithology.<#LINE#>Gupta, A.K., Sharma, J.R., Bothale, R.V., Dharmavat, R. and Singh P.

The Guryal Ravine fossiliferous zone (34°4'25.00"N 74°56'42.00"E) is one of the world’s best known Permian-Triassic (P-Tr.) Type Section referred as the Great Permian Mass Extinction event which is defined both on faunal and lithological characteristics. The Section represents repository fossil beds with a record of 252 million of year old geological events. It is spread over an area of 983337 square meters with a face length of 1413 meters, amidst picturesque exposures of Zabarwan Mountain Range in the summer capital of Srinagar, Kashmir, India. The fascinating fossils of Guryal Ravine have gained world attention which eventually led to its development as tourist spot. A team of geologists from Department of Geology and Mining, Srinagar demarcated the boundaries of Guryal Ravine fossiliferous zone with the aid of Global Positioning Satellites (G.P.S) and Electronic Total Station (E.T.S). The surface map of the Guryal Ravine was prepared on GIS Platform which was submitted to the Government for declaration of protected fossiliferous zone. This paper discusses the techniques and procedure involved in the demarcation and preservation of Guryal Ravine, world famous fossil site.<#LINE#>Ahmad. F, Chib.
