Geology
Sriperumbudur belongs to the Sriperumbudur Formation, which is characterised by arenaceous and argillaceous rock units composed of splintery green shale, clays, and sandstones with ironstoneintercalation. The rock units conformably[5] overlie either the Precambrianbasement or Precambrian boulder beds and green shales. The beds contain marine intercalations.[6] Their lithologic suites and fossil fauna are suggestive of deposition under shallow and brackish conditions, probably close to the shoreline.[7][8]
