Abstract

The present study is intended for quantitative interpretation of gravity and magnetic data over Sausar and Sakoli belts in Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra States, Central India. The gravity and magnetic data are used for the study were acquired under National Geophysical Mapping (NGPM) program of Geological Survey of India (GSI) covering an area of 6300 Km2 during field season period 2012-14. The Sakoli and Sausar fold belts are the main structural domains in the area and well known for polyphase deformation activities. The metallic and non-metallic mineralization occurrences are also reported in these structural domains. The important feature, Central India Shear (CIS), demarcated as lineament F6-F6’ is observed as steep gradient in Bouguer gravity anomaly map. Radially average power spectrum (RAPS) analysis of the gravity and magnetic data may be suggested average depth of basement around 4.5 Km and average depth of Sakoli and Sausar belts around 1.25 Km.
