Abstract. The Chandi limestone Formation of Raipur Group.  Chhatt1sgarh Supergroup is divided into three lithofacies designated as A.   B and C in stratigraphic order.  Limestone samples from each lithofacies were analysed for mineralogical and geochemical characters. In X-ray Diffractograms.  only calcite,   dolomite  and  quartz  are  detected.   Dolomite  snows  maximum development  in lithofacies B. In the  geochemical  results Cao  shows positive correlation  vv;th  Sr. Pb'. Zn.   Cu.   Ni in  Lithofacies A  indicating  association vv;th  calcite   Mn and insoluble  residue  shows positive   correlation  vv;th   MgO  in  lithoqacies  B. v..tiich suggests that higher Mn rs related to  dolornitization.  Similarly higher Na/Ca ratio in dolomite suggests saline dolomitizing solutions. The trace elemental   concentrations   in  general  indicate  normal  shallow  marine environment  of deposition.
