Title

Neoarchean crustal shear zones and implications of shear indicators in tectonic evolution of Bundelkhand craton, central India S C Bhatt; Vinod K. Singh

The gneisses and granitoids emplaced along E-W sub-vertical crustal shear zones are represented as important tectonic units in Bundelkhand craton of central India. The tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite (TTG) gneisses (3.5-3.2 Ga; oldest unit), and streaky to mafic gneisses structurally deformed in D 1 deformation. The metabasic, felsic, banded iron formation and metasedimentaries of greenstone complex exposed in central part, have characteristics of three sets of folding (F 1 -F 3 ). These gneisses associated with migmatite, amphibolite, quartzite, and schist were evolved in D 2 compressive phase, which are not occurring in northern part of craton. The K-rich Neoarchean granitoids (2.6-2.49 Ga) were intruded as granitic complex (D 3 magmatic phase) and the E-W strike-slip Raksa-Garhmau shear zone reported as important tectonic unit, were evolved in asyn-to post-tectonic D 3 phase. The dolerite dykes (ca. 2.0 Ga) were emplaced along NW-SE fractures in extension setting during D 4 magmatic event. The NE-SW riedel shears occupied by giant quartz veins (reefs) evolved in Paleoproterozoic during D 5 endogenic activity. The relationship between macro and microstructural fabrics has been documented within mylonitic foliation, stretching lineation, S-C planes and rotated fabrics, reflect mesoscopic shear indicators, as noted in three types of mylonitic rocks. i) The rotated porphyroclasts of quartz, feldspars and asymmetric pressure shadows showing strong undulose extinction, deformation lamellae, and dynamic recrystallization are characteristic features of protomylonite where altered orthoclase and kinked plagioclase are noticed. ii) Mylonite, a distinct mylonitic foliation represented by parallel orientation of elongated quartz and feldspar with flakes of mica. iii) The ground matrix of recrystallized quartz with few protoliths of quartz and feldspar are observed, important features of ultramylonite. The asymmetric microstructures viz. σa and σb mantled porphyroclasts, othermicrostructures show progressively deformed by crystal plastic (non-coaxial) strain softening under low to moderate temperature conditions. The sinistral top- to- SW sense of shear movement was dominant. The microfractures/ microfaults, kinking and pull apart structures observed in K- feldspars and are indicative of overprinting of brittle deformation on ductile shearing.

The Tin mineralizations occur around the Katekalyan area, hosted in the acid magmatic rocks. The evolution differentiating granitic magma shows residual melt enrichment where end products intruded as pegmatites into the rocks. The different kind of pegmatite occur as simple unzoned, recrystallized (granitic pegmatite), and metasomatic greisenised and albitised pegmatites which emplaced within the pre-existing rocks of metabasic intrusive, granite (KG), granite gneiss (KGG). Sometimes it also found in metasediments as mineralised and non-mineralised characters along the fractures and foliation planes trending N-S, E-W and more frequently are observed NNW-SSE trends. Cassiterite is most important Tin-ore mineral and associated with pegmatites. Some cassiterite samples exhibit colourless to brown shades zoning which indicate multi stage growth. The cassiterite samples contain significant amounts of Sn, Nb, Ta with minor W. The partial melting model shows that the variation 5 to 50% partial melting of bulk continental crust for KG as well as KGG rocks but bulk distribution coefficient for Sr (DSr) shows low i.e. <<10. The upper limit of partial melting of bulk crust estimates ~50 % for KG and KGG rocks are consistent with required rheological, critical melt percentage to leave the source region has decreased granite melt which were capable to mineralised tin ore elements. It is interesting to note that the SnF4 and SnCl4 probably not stable in presence of water under geologically reasonable conditions.

Geochemistry and tectonic setting of the supracrustal rocks from the central part of the Bundelkhand craton, India M. M. Singh; Vinod K. Singh

Supracrustal rocks (mafics and ultramafics) occurs along with banded iron formation, and felsic volcanics around Babina, Dhaura, and Mauranipur linear east-west trends in central part of the Bundelkhand craton represent Archean crust. The mafic and ultramafic rocks geochemically classified into Komatiite and Basaltic Komatiite and have high-Fe Tholeiitic in composition which may relate with the primitive mantle. The major and trace element geochemistry of mafic and ultramafic rocks correspond to hydrated mantle with wedge tectonic sources and ocean ridge geological characteristics.

The earth crustal growth since its formation still need in depth research is the conclusion of the three International Conferences on Precambrian Continental Growth and Tectonism, in 2005, 2009 and 2013, organised at the Institute of Earth Sciences of Bundelkhand University, Jhansi, India and its proceedings have valuable source for advance research published the great ideas and achievements from scientists (Chandra et al. 2007; Singh and Chandra, 2011 and Singh et al., 2015). Therefore, this thematic issue planned for consider of crustal growth and tectonic evolution of Indian shield which include 7 research articles on geodynamic evolution of earth, geomorphology, structural, petrologic, isotopic, tectonic, and geochemistry investigations related to the Indian shield and its economic importance (Figure 1).
