Geological Age: Paleozoic Geochronological Age: LATE SILURIAN Geochron. Age Ref.: OGS MAP 2582
Dec 07, 2005 (M Barua) - The succession at CGC forms 4 separate cycles capped by gypsum. The thickness of the Main gypsum bed varies from 0.83 to 1.17m at a depth of 20-40m. Lithologically it consists of gysum rock(>85% gypsum) with minor dolomite as wisps and matrix to nodular and chicken wire mosaic textures. From regional correlation, the gypsum sequence mostly belong to the Salina E unit. Only a limited stratigraphic section is exposed in the CGC mine at Hagersville. The sequence dips gently SW and thought to be formed on a sabkha substrate.

Dec 07, 2005 (M Barua) - The Main gypsum bed is composed essentially of massive gypsum that generally lacks sedimentary textures but displays obvious shear fabrics. Patches of purer gypsum and anhydrie are present in larger nodules.
