ABSTRACT
The ultimate aim of a sedimentological analysis is to unravel the history of depositional events leading to the development of particular stratigraphic sequences. Studies on sedimentology and stratigraphy are therefore inseparable. Evolution of the planet earth, both in the organic and inorganic sphere, through geologic time, has been the main concern of stratigraphy. Estimation of geological time, both in relative and absolute terms, has naturally been a matter of prime concern for stratigraphers as well as sedimentologists.
