Rb-Sr Chronology of the Khetri Copper Belt, Rajasthan
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Rubidium and strontium determinations are reported for the Udaipur and Saladipura granites from the Khetri copper belt. The whole-rock data define a Rb-Sr isochron corresponding to an age of 1480 ± 40 m.y. and initial Sr ratio of 0.7131 ± 0.006. This age is older than previously believed, but consistent with the generally high age of post-Delhi intrusive rocks so far dated in the region. Biotites associated with these rocks give younger ages around 700 m.y, This indicates mobilisation of Sr isotopes in a later metamorphic event. It is significant that this secondary event is almost synchronous with the intrusion of granites to the west and south of the Aravalli mountains.
