The O18/O16 and C13/C12 ratios of dolomite and calcite from Rajpur area on the Dehra Dun-Mussori road have been reported. The samples belong to the Lower Krol Formations of Triassic age. The isotopic composition data have been utilised to determine the conditions of formation. The data indicate that the precipitation occurred in warm waters and under isotopic equilibrium conditions.
