Faults are ruptures along which the opposite walls have moved past each other. The movement of these walls is best understood by obtaining the field evidence of faulting. The study area covers the Proterozoic rocks of the Kaladgi Basin mainly Quartzarenites, which are well exposed at and around Kallur. The usual trend of these rocks is East-West and dipping towards North. Due to the differential upliftment, multi-directional movement of Quartzarenites is observed. The stress is laid on the plane perpendicular to the strike which suggests the movement of the fault along the bedding plane. The present study reveals the clear examining of structural features such as Shear zones, Slickenside surface, and Pseudopachylite. The study of Sigmoidal Veins shows the movement of the blocks as the veins have been disturbed indicating the clear evidence of faulting in the Kallur area.
