Abstract

White pebbles of Silica origin, found in large quantities at Lonar Crater has been reported, though the source and origin of these pebbles as well as big boulders and basaltic rocks appearing white in color is not yet understood still. Research papers on Lonar Crater has not reported the abundance of pebbles and boulders present in Lonar Crater affected area, so far river pebbles and Lonar Crater pebbles exhibits similar in characteristics, physically and in chemical compositions, but boulders of big size are not found in any other water body or wetland water body. It has been reported through this paper of such big boulders and concluding that Lonar pebbles and big size boulders are not Lonar Crater origin. They have been transported by human activity and natural calamity. Boulders and pebbles may not be the evidence of meteorite impacted at Lonar Crater. They are not related to meteorite impact or volcanic eruption. They are not formed from the impacts of meteorites or volcanic eruptions.
