Significance of variable plunge and trend of small-scale upright folds in the type Aravalli rocks around Udaipur, Rajasthan (Western India)

The variable axial trend and plunge in the folds of the Aravalli rocks of early Precambrian age (2,500 to 2,000 m.y.) around Udaipur (lat 24° 35' N.; long 73° 41' E.) in southern Rajasthan, has been interpreted as being the result of interference of two periods of folding. The later folds with approximately north-south, steep axial planes are thought to have developed over an early set of overturned folds
