Abstract
Summary The supposed Aravalli basal conglomerate near Morchana, considered to mark an erosional unconformity above the older Precambrian Banded Gneissic Complex in central Rajasthan, is a tectonic mélange in a terrain involved in superposed deformations. The supposed pebbles represent tectonic inclusions of various shapes, formed by isoclinal folding, stretching and disruption of concordant, pre- or early-kinematic vein quartz and rare pegmatite sheets in the Aravalli mica schist during the first folding.Keywords
