Mumbai, located on the western Indian continental margin, exposes Danian-age Deccan magmatic units of diverse compositions, dipping seaward due to the Panvel flexure. The Ghatkopar-Powai tholeiitic sequence contains seaward-dipping (thus pre-flexure) flows and subvertical (thus post-flexure) dykes. We present new 40Ar/39Ar ages of 62.4 ± 0.7 and 62.4 ± 0.3 Ma (2σ) on two flows, and 62.2 ± 0.3, 62.8 ± 0.3 and 61.8 ± 0.2 Ma on three dykes, showing that this sequence is much younger than the main 66-65 Ma Deccan sequence in the Western Ghats escarpment. The mutually indistinguishable ages of the Ghatkopar-Powai tholeiites overlap with available 40Ar/39Ar ages of 62.6 ± 0.6 and 62.9 ± 0.2 Ma for the seaward-dipping Dongri rhyolite

The book
Superman meets Hobbes at this library
Ditching the smell of dried fish peculiar to Versova, the second turn off Yari Road leads to Leaping fönster Library & Café, a charming two-week-old property that stocks 2,000 graphic novels and comic titles.
After passing the patio area and the 400 sq ft main café that serves pre-made tuna, chicken and veg-n-cheese sandwiches, vit mint tea, masala chai, fish kotletter and mutton cutlets, a black spiral stairwell leads to the library in the basement.
For Rs 30 per hour, you can sip on Coorg kaffe (engelska) as you curl up to read comic classics such as Tintin, Asterix, Calvin and Hobbes, as well as the Marvel Comics’ superhero series. Sit on the floor föda or take one of the sju comfortable seats, tucked in between the bookracks.
“We only allow drinks downstairs. Food is a big no,” says co-owner Bidihsha Basu, who runs the kaffebar with husband Utsa Shome, and Delhi-based friend Koel Chatterjee. Indeed, bright red p
