Lying to the south of the Dharwar Craton, the expansive granulite massif, known as the
Granulite Terrane of South India, preserves protracted history of the earth from ca. 3400–500 …

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

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

The granitoid magmatism in the Chitradurga greenstone belt implies crustal reworking in the
western Dharwar Craton during the Neoarchean. High-K granites and low-K trondhjemites …

In the paleogeographic reconstructions of the Rodinia supercontinent, the circum-global 1.1–
0.9 Ga collisional belt is speculated to skirt the SE coast of India, incorporating the Rodinian …

Both primary mantle differentiation and early extraction of oceanic and continental crust can
have resulted in a chemically heterogeneous Archaean mantle. Evidence for heterogeneity …

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 …

Abstract The Doddakadanur Anorthosite Complex is a well-preserved sequence of
anorthosites, gabbroic anorthosites, and anorthositic gabbros intrusive into amphibolites of …

Abstract The Dharwar Craton (DC) in southern India is one of the classic Archean terrains,
preserving an evolutionary history from the Paleoarchean to Mesoarchean. The present …

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 …
