Lower crustal granulites, which constitute the base of all continents, belong to two series:
high-pressure granulites generated by crustal thickening (subduction) and (ultra) high …

SHRIMP dating of magmatic zircons from granitoid gneisses and charnockites of the
Trivandrum and Nagercoil Blocks in the granulite terrane of southernmost India yielded well …

In general, Archean rocks exhibit rather ordinary moderate-P-high-T facies series
metamorphism; neither blueschists nor any record of deep continental subduction and return …

The Gangdese batholith emplaced during the time span of Cretaceous to Neogene in the
southern Lhasa terrane of Tibet has been considered as a major constituent of an Andean …

To this day, there is a great amount of controversy about where, when and how the so-called
supercontinents--Pangea, Godwana, Rodinia, and Columbia--were made and broken …

This study assesses temperatures of formation of common granulites by combining
experimental constraints on the P–T stability of granulite-facies mineral associations with a …

The Madurai Block of southern India is rich in granitic orthogneiss, much of which is
orthopyroxene-bearing (charnockite). This study has identified that orthogneiss from the …

We report age data on zircon, monazite, uraninite and huttonite from a suite of 29 samples
covering four major granulite blocks in southern India using an electron microprobe …

Cratons and Fold Belts of India, is a unique attempt at presenting geological characteristics
and evolution of the fold belts and the cratonic areas of the Indian shield. The author has …

Abstract The Southern Granulite Terrane (SGT), the wedgeshaped southern termination of
Peninsular India, is a mosaic of several crustal blocks and intervening collisional …
