Evolution of the central indian tectonic zone: geochemical and isotope-geochronological data

In the framework of the Russian-Indian joint research projects geochemical and geochronological study of granitoid rocks across the Central Indian Tectonic Zone has been carried out. Geochronological data suggest that the Central Indian Tectonic Zone is composed primarily of Proterozoic rocks, formed as a result of several stages of granitoid magmatism: at 2.43, 2.34-2.31, 1.73-1.72 and 1.53-1.51 Ga. Metamorphic transformations reflected by Sm-Nd and Rb-Sr systems of rocks and minerals occurred 1.37-1.1 Ga ago that allows comparing the final processes in the Central Indian Tectonic Zone with the Grenville orogeny and it can be used for the reconstruction of Rodinia.
