RDS-7 Post-Conference Field Workshop

Day 1: Fieldwork in North Singhbhum Mobile Belt (NSMB)

Focus: Lithological variation and primary to secondary structures developed in the mobile belt.

Key Locations & Observations

Stop 1: Harindungri (L-1) – Regionally folded Quartzite bands showing primary structures and also soft-sediment deformation structures, associated with quartz mica schist showing different generation regional deformation fabrics.

Day 2: Fieldwork in Singhbhum Shear Zone (SSZ)

Focus: Lithopackage and structural development across SSZ

Key Locations & Observations:

Stop 1: Rakha Cu-mine (L-2)– A sequence of deformed quartzite mylonite, Qtz-Bt-Chl schist, conglomerate and metabasic rocks illustrate lithological variation and strain heterogeneity in the frontal part of the north dipping SSZ

Stop 2: Temple outcrop Turamdih U-mine colony (L-3) – Banded quartzite mylonite outcrop illustrates fold-foliation-lineation development in the central part of the SSZ

Stop 3: Road section near Gitilata village (L-4) –Singhbhum Granite outcrops in footwall side of the SSZ illustrates a progression from strongly sheared to less sheared granitoid rocks

Established in 1905, the Geological Institute is a student-run academic organization, one of the earliest of its kind in Asia - dedicated to nurturing students’ intellectual growth beyond the classroom. It promotes extra-academic engagement through seminars, meetings, field tours, and publications. Its annual bilingual journal, Bhu-Vidya, provides a platform for students to think independently and express ideas grounded in their academic learning. As the oldest student academic forum in the country, the Geological Institute has remained a source of pride for the Department and Presidency university since its inception.
