Abstract : The Jaisalmer basin experienced sedimentation since late Proterozoic-Early Cambrian with intervening hiatuses. During Mesozoic, sedimentation started with the deposition of Lathi Formation (Lias to Bathonian) and were followed by deposition of Jaisalmer Formation (Callovian to Oxfordian). Jaisalmer Formation, a carbonate sequence with basal siliciclastics is subdivided into five members. The studied Kuldhar member consists of fossiliferous limestones, pelletal limestones and claystones. The depositional environments were recognised on the basis of microfacies identification and interpretation. The presence of wackestone- Packstones rich in micrite represents deposition in lagoon to restricted warm shelf. The interbedded grainstones and ooidal bioclastic packstones were deposited in a shallow agitated water above wave base. Presence of homogenous microbioclastics and iron rich argillaceous micrite suggest open shelf deposits below wave base to slightly deeper conditions
