At Singu, syn-tectonic Pleistocene basalts, possibly vented through the active fault strands, form a low elliptical plateau. The basalts overlie the upper part of the Plio-Quaternary Irrawaddy Group and straddle the fault trace (Chhibber 1934; Bender 1983; Bertrand et al. 1998). Apparent dextral offset of the south and north margins of the plateau across the fault by 2.7 and 6.5 km, respectively (Fig. 19.11a–c), has been considered to result from Quaternary displacement along the Sagaing Fault (Bertrand et al. 1998). Singu Basalt (Dark grey colored vesicular basalt) is on the Upper Miocene-Pliocene of Irrawaddy Formation and its equivalent.
