Geography

Elaiyur Village is comprising seven regions: Elaiyur (West), Elaiyur (West), Elaiyur (South), Elaiyur (Southeast), Kandiyankollai, Koriyampatti and Palla Kulam (Northeast).

Areas surrounding and within Elaiyur have been known to be sedimentary depositional environments. Field/outcrops prominence, such as bed geometry, sedimentary structure, texture, erosional surfaces, etc., indulge as confirmation for depositional environments.

Magnetic susceptibility in the areas within and surrounding Elaiyur is not uncommon. The magnetic fabric in the sedimentary rocks, surrounding Elaiyur, can develop during deposition (primary fabric) and even after deposition (secondary fabrics) of the sediments as a result of bioturbation, compaction and tectonic disturbances (Rees 1961). Magnetic samples of Kallankurichchi limestone have been deemed suitable for magnetic fabric studies due to its high magnetic susceptibility.

Elaiyur and surrounding areas are also known for rare, distinctive, shell microstructures. Optical microscopic observations and SEM studies of the shells, in this area, of six genera clearly indicate that all the four sub-families consist of distinctive set of shell-microstructures.
