Analytical investigations on geological samples    collected from  the  cis-indus  ranle  rock samples   were  done by using XRF    and  AAS technique.   Infrared studies  were  also  carried  out   on  these samples  for their  structure speculation, which mainly   indicated the  calcite nature  of the mineral.     The   gravimetric   analysis   indicated   mainly   the   presence   of   carbonates   and   hence   the  carbonaceous nature  of  these  rocks. The  major,  minor  and  trace elements  as  determined by employing Xray     fluorescence (wd)   and  atomic absorption spectroscopic  studies  were Ca,    Sr,  Mn,  Fe,  Na,  Pb  and  Zn.  The maximum concentration in  these rock samples  were  found  for  Ca,  which  lied   in the  range of 21-29%.  Zinc concentration   were  found  to be minimum,  and  were nearly 0.0001% in all samples.
