Growth of the Greater Indian Landmass and its assembly in Rodinia: Geochronological evidence from the Central Indian Tectonic Zone

TL;DR: The Sausar Mobile Belt at the southern margin of the Central Indian Tectonic Zone (CITZ) is a key unit in constraining the timing of continent-continent collision between the North and South Indian cratonic blocks.
Journal ArticleDOI

Grenvillian age high-pressure upper amphibolite-granulite metamorphism in the Aravalli-Delhi Mobile Belt, Northwestern India: New evidence from monazite chemical age and its implication

TL;DR: In this article, the age of the collisional orogeny in the Aravalli-Delhi Mobile Belt was deduced using electron microprobe (EMP) dating of monazites of two suites of metapelitic to metapsammitic rocks from the Banded Gneissic Complex of Central Rajasthan.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mesoproterozoic Reworking of Palaeoproterozoic Ultrahigh-temperature Granulites in the Central Indian Tectonic Zone and its Implications

TL;DR: In this paper, two temporally unrelated granulite-facies tectonothermal events of Pre-Grenvillian age have been established using sequences of prograde, peak and retrograde reaction textures, mineral chemistry, geothermobarometric results and petrogenetic grid considerations from the felsic and aluminous granulites and applying metamorphosed mafic dyke markers and geochronological constraints.
Journal ArticleDOI

Zoned Monazite and Zircon as Monitors for the Thermal History of Granulite Terranes: an Example from the Central Indian Tectonic Zone

TL;DR: The growth and dissolution behavior of detrital, metamorphic and magmatic monazite and zircon during granulite-facies anatexis in pelitic and psammo-pelitic granulites and in garnetiferous granite from the southern margin of the Central Indian Tectonic Zone (CITZ) have been investigated using reconstructed metamorphIC reaction history, monazites electron microprobe dating and sensitive high-resolution ion micro-probe (SHRIMP) U-Pb geochronology RE
Journal ArticleDOI

∼1.6 Ga ultrahigh‐temperature granulite metamorphism in the Central Indian Tectonic Zone: insights from metamorphic reaction history, geothermobarometry and monazite chemical ages

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present precise pressuretemperature and age constraints of ultra-high-temperature (UHT) metamorphism of the Bhandara-Balaghat granulite (BBG) domain at the southern margin of the Central Indian Tectonic Zone (CITZ).
