Other/historical names associated with this locality:
Mangampet Mine
Baryte deposit within the upper carbonaceous tuff zone of Pullampet formation of the middle Proterozoic Cuddapah Supergroup.
One of the world's largest baryte deposits, accounting for more than 98% of India's baryte production.
K.S. Misra of the Geological Survey of India (GSI) was the first to report fullerene-bearing shungitic rocks from the volcano-sedimentary Proterozoic formations in association with the world's largest bedded barite (barytes) deposit at Mangampeta, Kadapa (Cuddapah) district, India in the 3rd International seminar & exhibition on exploration geophysics in Osmania University, Hyderabad on 9th November 2006.
Both C60 and C70 forms of fullerene were identified by laser desorption/ionization spectrometry in black carbonaceous shales (now called shungitic rocks) having an organic carbon content of 5-13%. The associated rocks include grey shales, dolomites and quartzites. (Dr. R. Jagadiswara Rao; Professor of Geology [Retired], Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati, AP 517502, India)
