Abstract

The Kangmar Massif which has been attributed to the North Himalayan Belt of two-mica granites in southern Tibet (China) is shown to be an orthogneiss in the core of a dome which displays an intermediate high-pressure type metamorphism, Himalayan in age (40 to 20 Ma) and above the Main Central Sheet. This metamorphism took place during high shear strain deformation, and it is not recorded to the west where North Himalayan plutons have developed contact metamorphism.
