Abstract

Jonk river conglomerate occurs along the river Jonk of the late Archean-Paleoproterozoic Sonakhan greenstone belt in the northern-eastern part of the central India craton (CIC)/Bastar block of Central India. To quantify finite strain, the Rf/φ and Fry techniques were used. For the 3D strain analysis, conventional Flinn diagram was computed, on which variation of finite strain as computed from harmonic mean for the different localities, that most of the pebble shapes designates at the oblate field and have nearly plain strain ellipsoid.
