Dispersal pattern of sandstones of the Jodhpur Formation around Bhopalgarh (Rajasthan) was studied by measuring dip azimuths of cross-bedding foresets. Variance components of paleocurrents due to various sources were analysed. Low variance of paleocurrents, profusely cross-bedded character of sandstones and mainly arenaceous nature of the formation, suggested that the deposition of the major part of the Jodhpur Formation took place under braided fluvial conditions.
