Stratigraphic position of Lameta Beds is :

  • A.Inter trappeans
  • B.Infratrappean
  • C.Epitrapean
  • D.Post-trapean

Answer: B

The Lameta Beds are Infratrappean.

The Lameta Formation of central India consists of Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) sandstones, limestones and clays, famous for dinosaur bones and eggs. They lie directly beneath the Deccan Trap lava flows, so they are infra (below) trappean.

Intertrappean beds are the thin sediments sandwiched between successive lava flows, and supra- or post-trappean deposits lie above the traps; the Lameta Beds belong to neither position.
