Two structural facies viz., an upper flat-bed facies and a lower cross-bed facies are recognised in the outcrops along the Arabian sea coast. The geometry of the sand- stone body, the association of structural facies find bioturbation features imply that this sandstone formed in a beach-nearshore milieu. A relative fall of 4 to 5m in sea level is also proposed.
