Magnetite-quartzites of Tamil Nadu associated with pyroxene granulites and gneisses occur in the Precambrian high grade granulite terrain. A study of distribution of ferride group of trace elements in separated magnetites suggests that the magnetite-quartzites and pyroxene granulites may have differrent modes of origin-metasedimentary and metavolcanic respectively. However, a volcano-sedimentary process for the magnetite-quartzites may have to be considered in view of the close association of metavolcanics.
