Abstract
The multi-level aeromagnetic survey conducted over the Deccan traps in 1974 reflects a tectonic fault and thrust faulting environment near t he Latur earthquake zone. The matching aeromagnetic thickness estimate with the drilling results calibrates thickness estimates at other pla ces of aeromagnetic profiles and surveys and calls for a detailed futu re coverage of randomly magnetized Deccan traps by aeromagnetic survey s.
