Abstract
Mineral assemblages, reaction textures and consideration of deduced mineral reactions in appropriate petrogenetic grids in calc-silicate rocks occurring at the contact of the 0.79 Ga Chilka Lake anorthosite pluton, northeastern part of the Eastern Ghats Belt, India, reveal UHT-metamorphism ( T > 1000 °C) at mid-crustal depths (corresponding to 7 ± 1 kbar). This 0.79 Ga thermal metamorphism completely erased imprints of an earlier (0.96 Ga) granulite facies metamorphism in the calc-silicate rocks. The anorthosite and UHT contact metamorphic rocks were overprinted by amphibolite–granulite facies tectonothermal re-working at 0.69–0.66 Ga. Both the anorthosite-induced UHT metamorphism and the high-grade Pan-African re-working are unique for the Eastern Ghats Belt. These new observations provide clues regarding integration and disintegration of Rodinia and Indo-Antarctic correlation in the Precambrian.
