| Abstract: | Massif type anorthosites at Bolangir, eastern India are emplaced at the vicinity of the proto-Indian craton—Eastern Ghats Granulite belt contact. Micro- and meso-structural evidences indicate that the emplacement of the anorthosite pluton and the adjoining granitoids was syn-tectonic with respect to the D3 deformation phase (950–1,000 Ma) in the host gneiss. Anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility confirms that magnetic fabrics within anorthosite were dominantly developed during D3 deformation. Emplacement of felsic melts in the N-S trending dilatant shear zones in the granitoids, Fe-Ti-Zr-REE rich melt bands along N-S trending shear zones and localized N-S magnetic foliation in anorthosite near the Fe-Ti-Zr-REE rich melt bands indicate change in the stress field from NNW-SSE (D3) to E-W (D4). Available geochronological and paleogeographic data coupled with the structural analyses of the intrusive and the host gneiss indicate that the emplacement of massif type anorthosite in the EGP is not related to the accretion of Eastern Ghats Granulite Belt over proto-Indian continent during late Neoproterozoic. |
