a Summary sedimentary log through the Siwalik succession exposed along the Mohand anticline. The Upper Middle Siwalik to Upper Siwalik conglomerates were studied in detail to capture conglomeratic event beds below the Middle to Upper Siwalik contact. No Lower Siwalik sandstone was exposed in the study region. b Detailed sedimentary log of conglomerate beds C1 and C2. Geometries (channel depth; Fig. 5) and grain size (conglomerate beds) were taken from C2 conglomerate bed and used in bedload transport equations. Siwalik date (GPTS age 4.4 Ma) was taken from a nearby logged Siwalik section (30 km east of the logged section; Fig. 1) so can be roughly correlated to our studied section for age context71.
