Abstract
The Sasunavghar-Juchundra area in the western part of Deccan Flood Bas alt Province exposes repetitive acidic pyroclastic sequences overlying intermediate to basic pyroclastic basal flows. These acidic tuffs con form to typical 'ignimbrite' eruptive and depositional environment. Th e explosive activity has probably resulted from a localised collapse o f eruptive column.
