Occurrence of Ultramafics of Komatiitic Affinity in the Rikhabdev-Dungarpur Belt, Udaipur and Dungarpur Districts, Rajasthan
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Preliminary study of the ultramafic suite of rocks emplaced concordantly in the Proterozoic supracrustals of the southern Rajasthan (Aravalli Supergroup) indicates their komatiitic nature. Though the diagnostic spinifex texture is not observed in the highly serpentinised and metamorphosed ultramafics, the amygdaloidal structure and the previously reported igneous joints provide textural evidences for the extrusion of the ultramafic lava. The altered ultramafics still retain certain chemical signatures (high MgO and Mg-No., low Ti02, Al2O3and alkalis) of standard komatiites.
