Abstract: The finite strain studies
on the pebbles of Loa conglomerate, Bastar district, (M.P.) has been carried out
with a view to understand the extent of
deformation along with the stratigraphic position of this lithounit. On the basis
of axial parameter
computation, the three dimensional
constrictional ratio of X : Y : Z is 4.5 : 3 : 1 and the
finite strain ratio is 0.73. From this study it has
been observed that the conglomeratic
pebbles caused minor strain effects and thus do not
indicate two phases of deformation as it is proposed for Bengpal Group of rocks.
Hence, Loa conglomerate is included within Bailadila Group in fieu of Bengpals.
Keywords: Stratigraphy, Loa Conglomerate, Bastar.
