| Abstract: | The granulites and granitoids around Rayagada in the north central part of the Eastern Ghats belt display structural and petrological
differences when compared to similar rocks from Chilka and Jenapore in the northern Eastern Ghats. The impress of F1 deformation is almost erased while that ofF
3 is muted. The metapelites have a restricted chemical range and are non-migmatitic. There are two varieties of leptynitic
granitoids, one of which is interlayered with yet another S-type granite containing cordierite. The maximum recorded temperature
from geothermometers is 780‡C, but the magnitude of pressure is comparatively low, the highest value being 6.3 kbar. Another
distinctive feature of the pressuretemperature record is the absence of evidence of decompression in the lower realms of pressure
and temperature. Metamorphic reactions that could be identified indicate cooling, a noteworthy reaction being the sillimanite
to andalusite transformation. Integration of data from pressure-temperature sensors suggest cooling at two pressures, 6 and
5 kbar. The generation of two types of granitoids from metapelites is interpreted to be due to intersection with solidus curves
for pelitic and graywacke-like compositions, constrained by recent experiments, at 6 and 5 kbar. The first melting occurred
on a prograde path while the second one was due to increase in temperature during exhumation at tectonic rates.
Thus inspite of a broad similarity in the geodynamic scenario across the northern part of the Eastern Ghat belt, differences
in exhumation rates and in style of melting were responsible for producing different signatures in the Rayagada granulite
terrane. |
