Abstract

We present major, trace, rare earth element, and selected high‐field‐strength element ratios (Nb/Th, Zr/Nb, Nb/Y, and Zr/Y) of the Paleoproterozoic Dhanjori volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks of the Singhbhum crustal province, eastern India. The geochemical characteristics of the upper Dhanjori volcanic rocks indicate that these are basaltic komatiites. Our geochemical data, in combination with the sedimentological and stratigraphic characteristics of the interbanded metasedimentary rocks clearly indicate an intracontinental rift setting for Dhanjori volcanism and sedimentation.
