Geochemical investigations on the Jaspa granites and Rohtang gneisses from Himachal Pradesh indicate that the Rohtang gneisses are the migmatlsed/granltised products of the pre-existing metasediments and the Jaspa granite is an intrusive granite. Field relationship suggests that the Jaspa granite is a post-tectonic intrusive while the migmatisation/granltisation of the gneisses appear to be pre-and syntectonic and might have continued into the post-tectonic period.- Geochemistry and Petrogenesis of Basic Dykes of Agali Area, Palghat District, Kerala

A basic dyke swarm trending ENE-WSW traverses the Agali area of north-central Kerala. The geochemistry of these dykes suggests that they are transitional in character between continental and oceanic basalts. and are akin to one of the magmatic phases of the Deccan volcanics. They have been derived from a tholeiitic magma generated by partial melting of a heterogeneous mantle containing minor amounts of phlogopite and apatite. Fractionation of clinopyroxene. magnetite and plagioclase is indicated. The present study supports one of the earlier suggestions that these dykes are related to the rifting of the western continental margin of India.- Author's Reply

Palaeomagnetic data on the basic dyke rocks of Palachal (Cannanore district) and Agali (Palghat district) regions of Kerala in the southwestern part of India are presented. Palachal dyke has obtained stable vectors of D and I at 200Oe and possesses a single thermally discrete component with blocking temperatures at the Curie temperature of magnetite, whereas the Agali dyke has shown unstable behaviour to the AF and thermal demagnetisation tests. The Palachal dyke possesses a southwest negative NRM remanence (D = 225.5°; 1 = 48.5°; K = 48.52; α 95 = 7.24) and a pole position (44°N; 135°E) which is closer to that of Gwalior Traps (1830 ± 200m.y.) or Group IV dykes of Proterozoic age. K-Ar ages of 1668 ± 31 m.y. and 1660 ± 25m.y. have been obtained for the Palachal dyke and it is compatible with the Palaeomagnetic results. The basic dyke activity jn the southwest is not solely related to the rifting of western continental margin of India as earlier suggested but is in part of Proterozoic age.- Geology and Structure of the High-Grade Rocks from Punalur-Achankovil Sector, South India

The Punalur-Achankovil sector is a southwestern segment of the high-grade granulite terrain of South India. It is characterised by charnockite and garnet-biotite. Quartz-feldspar (GBQF) gneiss with minor occurrences of sillimanite and graphitebearing gneiss and basic granulite. Structurally. The terrain has undergone three phases of intense deformation and metamorphism and a late less intense deformation. The first deformation (D1) has disrupted original depositional layering with development of quartzo-feldspathic bands; the accompanying metamorphism (M1) is represented by granulite facies sillimanite-bearing gneiss and basic granulite. The second deformation (D2) resulted in isoclinal folding and the corresponding metamorphism (M2) produced large neosome now represented by the GBQF gneiss. Lithologies representing the D3-M3 event are the charnockite and minor granite bodies developed under high-grade metamorphic conditions; open to tight" asymmetric folds are characteristic of this deformation. The final deformation (D4) is less penetrative and is characterised by open folds. Structural data from the area do not indicate any major shear zone features nor does the region constitute an intercratonic suture belt as suggested earlier. The topographic expression along Achankovil-Punalur represents only a neotectonic lineament.Keywords

Profuse Proterozoic basic magmatism is represented by mafic dykes all around the Cuddapah Basin and by lava flows/sills at different stratigraphic levels of sedimentary sequences within the basin. However, the genetic links between magmatism all around and within the basin are rather obscure. Available geochronological data have been examined in the light of our geochemical and palaeomagnetic results. The geochemical results clearly show that the dykes are sub-Alkalic tholeiitic basalts in composition and no distinctions are visible in the elemental trends with respect to field orientations or discrete age groups. However, the LIL element chemistry has been variably affected by different degrees of alteration. Such an alteration seems to have resulted in wide range in their ages, mainly by the Rb-Sr, K-Ar and Ar-Ar methods. Using palaeomagnetic constraints we recalculated the Sm-Nd isotopic data of three dykes of Mahabubnagar-Wanparti sector and estimated c. 2.4 Ga and 2.1 Ga age for the early dyke magmatism around the Cuddapah basin. Two other discrete dyke magmatic activities are assigned 1.8 and 1.65 Ga based on palaeomagnetic correlations. Thus, the sub-alkalic tholeiitic basic magmatism within lower Cuddapah Basin and around is confined to the Palaeoproterozoic times and the younger ages are attributed to disturbed isotopic systems. An interesting observation is that the dykes in the Anantapur-Gooty sector are predominantly rich in MgO, Ni and Cr and low in Zr and are dominated by olivine cumulus mineralogy. This feature evidently suggests that the dykes in this region solidified in much closer proximity to the subsurface magma chamber, retaining early-formed dense phases like olivine still as cumulates/phenocrysts. Such an interpretation provides geochemical support to the inference from Bouguer gravity anomaly for subsurface magma underplating in the southwest Cuddapah Basin. This is the first study from India to provide support from the geochemistry of dykes for subsurface magmatic body inferred from gravity anomaly.Keywords
