A clay bed is exposed near Garjia (Ramnagar) in the Nainital district of UP at the base of a gravel sequence akin to the Upper Siwalik Boulder Bed. Its principal clay constituent is represented by the smectite group of minerals of bentonitic composition derived from a volcanic source of silicic pyroclastic material. The clay shows similarity with the Toba ash.
