Question

Which one of the following represents the CORRECT combination of stratigraphic unit with its corresponding age?

• A. Barail Formation – Miocene
• B. Mahadek Formation – Oligocene
• C. Naredi Formation – Eocene
• D. Dalmia Puram Formation – Paleocene

Hint:

When working with stratigraphic units, always verify the age and geological period using reliable references to ensure the correct associations.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Review the Stratigraphic Units and their Corresponding Ages.
- The Barail Formation is associated with the Miocene age in the geological time scale, not the Eocene.
- The Mahadek Formation is associated with the Eocene period, not Oligocene.
- The Naredi Formation is correctly associated with the Eocene age.
- The Dalmia Puram Formation is associated with the Paleocene, but not in this case.
Thus, the correct answer is (C) Naredi Formation – Eocene.
Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{Naredi Formation – Eocene}} \]
