In this contribution we review the possibility of establishing the depositional age and tectonic
settings of metamorphosed carbonate rocks from continental collision zones in the East …

To this day, there is a great amount of controversy about where, when and how the so-called
supercontinents--Pangea, Godwana, Rodinia, and Columbia--were made and broken …

The Xinghe graphite deposit is located in the north-central part of the North China Craton
(NCC) where Archean gray gneiss, metasedimentary rocks (khondalites) and mafic (high …

Most diamonds form in a relatively narrow depth interval of Earth's subcontinental mantle
between 150 and 250 km. From carbon isotope analyses of diamond obtained in the 1970s …

We report age data on zircon, monazite, uraninite and huttonite from a suite of 29 samples
covering four major granulite blocks in southern India using an electron microprobe …

Abstract The Southern Granulite Terrane (SGT), the wedgeshaped southern termination of
Peninsular India, is a mosaic of several crustal blocks and intervening collisional …

The anhydrous mineral assemblages that characterize granulite facies rocks, including
charnockites and ultrahigh-temperature rocks, require that water activity was buffered to low …

Large charnockite massifs cover a substantial portion of the southern Indian granulite
terrain. The older (late Archaean to early Proterozoic) charnockites occur in the northern part …

We report here for the first time, the occurrence of sapphirine+ quartz assemblage in textural
equilibrium from quartzo-feldspathic and pelitic granulites from southern India. The …

Large charnockite massifs occur in some of the Precambrian high-grade terrains like the
southern Indian granulite terrain. The Cardamom Hill charnockite massif from the Madurai …
