The Bagewadi and the Bannikoppa conglomerates occupy a significant position in the Gadag belt. A detailed investigation of these conglomerates has revealed many important features regarding their origin and structure. The earlier workers reported the occurrence of a band of greywacke to the east of Bagewadi conglomerate. The present investigation bas shown that this is a micro-breccia and not a greywacke, and was formed due to the intensive brecciation of the eastern portion of the Bagewadi conglomerate. This brecciation was caused by a thrust fault. The Bannikoppa conglomerate constitutes the 'Klippe' structure.

Abstract


The Bagewadi and the Bannikoppa conglomerates occupy a significant position in the Gadag belt. A detailed investigation of these conglomerates has revealed many important features regarding their origin and structure. The earlier workers reported the occurrence of a band of greywacke to the east of Bagewadi conglomerate. The present investigation bas shown that this is a micro-breccia and not a greywacke, and was formed due to the intensive brecciation of the eastern portion of the Bagewadi conglomerate. This brecciation was caused by a thrust fault. The Bannikoppa conglomerate constitutes the 'Klippe' structure.
