Platinum Group Elemental (PGEs-Pt, Ir, Pd, Rh and Ru) contents, determined by ICP-MS, are reported in a rare REE-Th-Zr-Ti-rich ultrabasic tremolite-actinolite rock from Vattalakki, Kerala. Data on PGE, together with unusually high contents of REE, Th, Zr and Ti at percent level, indicate this rock as 'anomalous'.

Data on PGE, together with unusually high contents of REE, Th, Zr and Ti at percent level, indicate this rock as 'anomalous'.
