Chidambaram College, Tuticorin-628008, Tamil Nadu, INDIA Manimaran G. 2 > Research Article 2014 1 8 2015 January 2 Remote sensing studies based on Landsat imageries and relief map followed by field studies have been carried out along the Kayathar-Tirunelveli-Valliyur transect of Achankovil suture zone. Five patterns of lineaments, two sets of conjugate shear system of dextral Tenmalai shear of D and sinistral Achankovil shear of D3 were delineated. F isoclinal rootless fold, E-W upright folds of F of D; reorientation of F upright folds during D deformation, F doubly plunging fold due to interference of F and F folds were identified. The major isoclinal ‘S’ type Vallanadu quartzite fold is a shear fold and its eatern limb displaced sinistrally for 11 km are highlighted from field and remote sensing studies. The F, F and F co-axial folding suggest continued subduction of Madurai block sediments under Kerala Khondalite block through Achankovil suture zone during periods from D-D deformations of Neoproterozoic to Cambrian time. F cross folding of F and F folds were formed during late D deformation. Copyright@ International Science Community Association
