Predictive new geological model for future hydrocarbon exploration in Indian sedimentary basins

The early to upper Cretaceous period, after Gondwana period, was the turning point, which continued up to middle Miocene and/or Pliocene epoch in the stratigraphic history of Peninsular India, covering the Indian shield as well as its margins. Due to creation of new low marine basins in graben-and-horst structures, the preservation of the in-situ as well as continental organisms along with rocks of petroliferous basins with their rich fossil fuel, in this country could be possible.
