Abstract

The beginning and the end of the Cretaceous period in India witnessed voluminous outpouring of lavas and stupendous volcanic explosions. In the Early Lower Cretaceous (114–118 Ma), nearly 20,000 km² area of eastern India embracing the Rajmahal Hills in Jharkhand and the Sylhat region in Meghalaya was affected by volcanism.
