A Petrochemical Study of the Gabbroic Rocks of Warikwah, Baramulla District, Kashmir Himalaya
Subscribe/Renew Journal
A gabbroic pluton of 4 sq km areal extension crops out at Warikwah, Baramulla District, Kashmir Himalaya. The three rock types in the pluton are recognized as norite, gabbro and quartz gabbro which are the products of differentiation under low PH2O conditions in that order. The parental magma is considered to be of tholeiitic nature and is derived from a deep source as reflected by major and trace element variation. After the emplacement in an orogenic (collisional) tectonic setting, the pluton has undergone low-grade. amphibolite facies metamorphism.
