The Precambrian Almora granite gneisses containing numerous schistose enclaves occuras thick and thin bands within the medium-grade Saryu metasediments of Almora Group. Petrography and major and trace element geochemistry of the granite gneisses indicate that they are strongly peraluminous, S-type granites, and were derived by partial meltingofthe meta-arkose/metapelites.

Abstract


The Precambrian Almora granite gneisses containing numerous schistose enclaves occuras thick and thin bands within the medium-grade Saryu metasediments of Almora Group. Petrography and major and trace element geochemistry of the granite gneisses indicate that they are strongly peraluminous, S-type granites, and were derived by partial meltingofthe meta-arkose/metapelites.
