Abstract

The study investigating the exposed Archean lower continental crust of the Southern Granulite Terrain, India, shield important constraints on the nature and evolution of the deep crust, including the formation and exhumation of Granulites. The source for the high temperature granulite metamorphism for the southern granulite terrain may be attributed to high temperature carbonatite and alkaline intrusives in an extensional setting which followed an initial crustal thickening. The Southern Granulite Terrain (SGT) in India is one of the largest exposed Precambrian deep continental crustal sections in the world consisting of multiply deformed Archean and Neoproterozoic high grade metamorphic and magmatic rock.
