Sapphirine-bearing granulites from Abu-Balaram area, Gujarat state: Implications for India-Madagascar connection

摘要

P-T conditions of sapphirine bearing granulites from a new locality from the north eastern part of Gujarat range from 8.2-8.8 kbars at T of 950 degreesC. The discovery of this UHT assemblage in the north western part of the Indian shield bordering the Aravalli-Delhi fold belt provides additional evidences for India-Madagascar connection, linking the Aravalli-Malani sequences to similar lithologies in northern Madagascar.
