Abstract The Dharwar Supergroup comprises the unconformity bound Bababudan and
Chitradurga groups. The Bababudan Group, which is best preserved in the Western …

Archean banded iron formations (BIFs) are important lithologies for understanding the early
Earth processes. Greenstone belts in the four Archean cratonic nucleii of peninsular India …

The early Archean oceans were marked by significant redox changes which have
subsequently shaped the Earth's biosphere. Archean chemical sediments of banded Iron …

Garnet-bearing metapelites are widely distributed in the Dengfeng Complex situated in the
southern segment of the North China Carton (NCC). Petrological studies indicate that garnet …

The late Archean was a crucial transition period for global geodynamics. Metavolcanic
rocks, as one of the predominant components of Archean cratons, are key to deciphering the …

Tectonic setting and crustal evolutionary processes recorded in the Meso–and
Neoarchaean crust in the northwestern margin of the Dharwar Craton are discussed in this …

Basalts are an integral part of all the greenstone belts of Dharwar Craton which played a
vital role in the thermo-tectonic evolution and mantle processes during the Archean time …

The roots of the tectonically uplifted Archean continental crustal blocks containing various
greenstone-granite terranes are the preserved crustal lithologies exposed in various …

Volcanic episodes serve as precursors for the formation and evolution of continental crust
and directly impact the mantle compositions. Here, we present elemental, zircon U-Pb and …

Neoarchaean, low-grade metamorphic greywackes of the Ranibennur Formation of
Chitradurga Group of Dharwar Supergroup, from the Western Dharwar Craton (WDC) were …
