The core of the KAC is made of hornblende gabbro, which is rimmed by a band of nepheline syenite in the east and syenodiorite in the west. The timing of magmatism with respect to the SSZ is disputed. The KAC was deformed during emplacement, and a magmatic foliation related to the syn-emplacement deformation, D1, is present in the gabbroic core. The dominant D2-related field fabric strikes NE-SW and is penetrative in parts of the gabbro and marginal lithologies. E-W trending D3 shear zones cut across the complex. Distinct textural domains resulted from strain partitioning during deformation. Parts of the complex with magmatic textures constitute Domain-1, while D2 and D3 fabric zones comprise Domains-2 and 3 respectively. Temperatures in the KAC initially decreased following D1, but increased through D2 and ...

The Eastern Ghats Province (EGP) of India, characterized by ~ 1 Ga granulite metamorphism (M 1), ... more The Eastern Ghats Province (EGP) of India, characterized by ~ 1 Ga granulite metamorphism (M 1), collided with the Archaean Indian craton in either Grenvillian (~1 Ga) or Pan-African (~0.6-0.5 Ga) time. At ~ 850 Ma, the Koraput Alkaline Complex (KAC) intruded into M 1 EGP granulites, and was metamorphosed during a second granulite event (M 2) in the EGP. U-Pb zircon dates from gneisses in Koraput yield magmatic ages ~ 1500 Ma, with overgrowths at 1100-900 Ma and 800-700 Ma. Cratonic zircons from the EGP contact zone have Archaean 2.8-2.6 Ga cores with overgrowths at ~700 Ma. Titanites from a calc-silicate gneiss within the EGP define a U-Pb isochron around 700 Ma, whereas titanites from nepheline syenites within the KAC yielded a range of dates from ~622 to 520 Ma. The c. 1500 Ma age in the EGP either implies Columbia break-up or proximity to a Columbia margin. The ~ 700 Ma age is interpreted as the age of M 2 granulite metamorphism that followed intracontinental thrusting of the EGP over ~ 2.8 Ga granulites of the Jeypore Province. The ~520 Ma titanite ages are correlated with final juxtaposition of the EGP-Jeypore Province amalgam with the Indian craton during Gondwana formation.

Within the belt, Archean granulites in the west are separated from Proterozoic granulites to the east by a prominent lithotectonic contact. Recent studies assume this contact to be the suture zone related to collision, although the structural and metamorphic evolution of the Archean granulites are so far undescribed. In this study, an integrated structural and metamorphic study conducted across the contact reveals that each unit preserves unrelated early granulite facies fabrics, but subsequently shared a top-to-the-west thrusting event that imprinted a penetrative NE–SW trending, southeasterly dipping shear foliation along the boundary zone. Syn-thrusting fluid infiltration initially stabilized hydrous minerals at the cost of earlier granulite facies assemblages in both units. Renewed heating and loading then re-established granulite facies conditions in both units, with peak conditions around 8 kb, 750–800 °C, possibly in the mid-Neoproterozoic time. Since metamorphic conditions and P-T trajectories are similar across the contact, the pre-thrusting thermal structure in both units is inferred to be similar. This implies that both units were already amalgamated into a common footwall block prior to this shared tectonothermal event. No ophiolites, arc magmas or post-collisional granitic activity of Neoproterozoic age are associated with this contact. It is concluded that the contact between Archean and Proterozoic granulites in the Eastern Ghats Belt is not a suture but records intracontinental orogenesis within the collision belt that either predates or post-dates the Proterozoic India–Antarctica amalgamation.

Fluid inclusion studies were conducted on silica undersaturated alkali gabbro and syenites in the complex, and a pre-metamorphic pegmatitic granite dyke that intrudes it. High density (1.02-1.05 g/cc), pseudo-secondary pure CO 2 inclusions are restricted to metamorphic garnets within the gabbro and quartz within the granite, whereas moderate ($0.92-0.95 g/cc) and low density ($0.75 g/cc) secondary inclusions occur in garnet, magmatic clinopyroxene, plagioclase, hornblende and quartz. The isochores calculated for high density pseudo-secondary inclusions pass very close to the peak metamorphic window ($8 kbar, 750°C), and are interpreted to represent the fluid present during peak metamorphism that was entrapped by the growing garnet. Microscopic round inclusions of undigested, relict calcite in garnet suggest that the CO 2 present during metamorphism of the complex was internally derived through carbonate breakdown. Pure to low salinity (0.00-10.1 wt% NaCl equivalent) aqueous intra-/intergranular inclusions showing unimodal normal distribution of final ice-melting temperature (T m) and temperature of homogenization (T h) are present only in quartz within the granite. These represent re-equilibrated inclusions within the quartz host that were entrapped at the metamorphic peak. Rare, chemically precipitated graphite along the walls of carbonic inclusions is interpreted as a post-entrapment reaction product formed during decompression. The fluid inclusion evidence is consistent with rapid exhumation of a thickened lower crust following the mid-Neoproterozoic granulite facies metamorphic event. The study suggests that mantle CO 2 , transported by alkaline magma into the crust, was locked up within carbonates and released during granulite metamorphism.

In peninsular India, the western margin ofthe Proterozoic Eastern Ghats Belt (EGB) is characterized by a series of alkaline plutons that are aligned close to the contact with the Archaean Craton. Most of the complexes were deformed and metamorphosed during a subsequent orogenic event. Unlike other plutons in the belt, the alkaline complex at Koraput reportedly escaped deformation and granulite facies metamorphism forming an anomalous entity within the zone. Multiply-deformed country rocks hosting this complex underwent syn-D,,, granulite facies metamorphism followed by DZCR thrusting, with pervasive shearing along a NE-SW trending foliation. A second granulite facies event followed localized D, , , shearing. Within the Koraput Complex, strain partitioning was responsible for preserving igneous textures in the gabbroic core, but aligned magmatic amphibole needles and plagioclase laths occasionally define a S,, fabric. Along the margins, S,, is rotated parallel to a NE-trending, east-dipping S, , fabric in the gabbro, fringing syenodiorite and nepheline syenite bands. Locally, D, , shearing follows

At ~ 850 Ma, the Koraput Alkaline Complex (KAC) intruded into M 1 EGP granulites, and was metamorphosed during a second granulite event (M 2) in the EGP. U-Pb zircon dates from gneisses in Koraput yield magmatic ages ~ 1500 Ma, with overgrowths at 1100-900 Ma and 800-700 Ma. Cratonic zircons from the EGP contact zone have Archaean 2.8-2.6 Ga cores with overgrowths at ~700 Ma. Titanites from a calc-silicate gneiss within the EGP define a U-Pb isochron around 700 Ma, whereas titanites from nepheline syenites within the KAC yielded a range of dates from ~622 to 520 Ma. The c. 1500 Ma age in the EGP either implies Columbia break-up or proximity to a Columbia margin. The ~ 700 Ma age is interpreted as the age of M 2 granulite metamorphism that followed intracontinental thrusting of the EGP over ~ 2.8 Ga granulites of the Jeypore Province. The ~520 Ma titanite ages are correlated with final juxtaposition of the EGP-Jeypore Province amalgam with the Indian craton during Gondwana formation.
