Detailed field, petrological and the Chemical studies of lhe Jalor granites, Western Rajastan show that the Jalor magnatism is not exclusively peraluminous in nature but has peralkaline Component closely associated in space and time. The Jalor complex is a classic example of hypersolvus-susolvus granite association. The Similar abundances of trace elements such as Ba, Th, U, Ga, Y and Zr in the hypersolvus and the subsolvus granites suggest that both magmas have common Source and are coeval. the hypersolvus granites show enrichment of LREE as compared to the subsolvus granites, but the subsolvus granites have more pronounced Eu anomaly. Tectonic significance of the find also discussed.

Abstract


Detailed field, petrological and the Chemical studies of lhe Jalor granites, Western Rajastan show that the Jalor magnatism is not exclusively peraluminous in nature but has peralkaline Component closely associated in space and time. The Jalor complex is a classic example of hypersolvus-susolvus granite association. The Similar abundances of trace elements such as Ba, Th, U, Ga, Y and Zr in the hypersolvus and the subsolvus granites suggest that both magmas have common Source and are coeval. the hypersolvus granites show enrichment of LREE as compared to the subsolvus granites, but the subsolvus granites have more pronounced Eu anomaly. Tectonic significance of the find also discussed.
