| Abstract: | The proper usage of modal composition and geochemical classification of granitoids is discussed for assigning a proper nomenclature
for the Angadimogar pluton, Kerala, southwestern India. This discussion is mainly aimed at addressing questions concerning
the nomenclature of Angadimogar pluton (syenitevs. granite). Modal composition and whole-rock XRD data clearly show that the pluton exposed near Angadimogar is a quartz-syenite
and its geochemistry is typical of a ferroan, metaluminous, alkali (A-type) granitoid |
