Calc-silicates, mica schists and granite gneisses of the Precambria Satpura orogeny are the dominant rock types here. Marble occurs as bands and lenses within the can lc-silicate rocks. A discontinuous marble-calc-silicate sequence is found exposed over a strike length of about 8 km from the southern slope of Shaiduri hill in the west to southern slope of Belamu hill in the east, passing through the southern slope of Iabarban hill. There is another such sequence in Gutijharna which runs along the northern slope of Jabarban hill. The marble calc-silicate sequence exposed in Jabarban hi11 is about 400 m in width and 1.6 km in length. It is bounded by porphyroblastic-augen gneiss in the north and mica schist and hornblende-biotite gneiss in the south.
