Abstract
With Sherlock Holmes in the Bengal Basin
Abstract
Ideas on the tectonics of the Bengal Basin still suffer from both oversimplification and over-complication. Examples of the former are the current concepts on the hinge-line along the Indian craton and on the Neogene growth history of the structures in the frontal fold belt of the Indoburman Orogene. The latter sin is exemplified by the quite untenable, yet still widely accepted, idea of a mighty transcurrent “Dauki Tear Fault” along the slope of the Shillong Plateau.
This paper presents some surprising results of purely literary detective work, precipitated originally by doubts arising from studies on ERTS imagery and airphotos, in generally accessible and mostly published information. It is suggested that, as a consequence of these results, explorationists take a more appreciative second look at the petroleum potential of the Bengal Basin.
