The generation, preservation and destruction of continental crust on Earth is of wide interest
in understanding the formation of continents, cratons and supercontinents as well as related …

Abstract The Dharwar Craton is a composite Archean cratonic collage that preserves
important records of crustal evolution on the early Earth. Here we present results from a …

The results of field, geochronologic, geochemical and isotopic studies are presented for the
granitoids that occur east of the Closepet batholith up to the Kolar schist belt (KSB). Field …

The Dharwar craton comprises two distinct parts separated by a steep N–S sinistral shear
zone. In the western part a pre-2900Ma complex of orthogneisses, granodiorites and narrow …

Detrital zircon samples from Cambrian and Lower to Middle Ordovician strata were taken
across and along the strike of the Himalaya from Pakistan to Bhutan (∼ 2000 km). By …

We present SIMS U–Pb zircon ages and Nd isotope data for the felsic volcanic rocks from
seven Neoarchean greenstone belts of the Eastern Dharwar craton (EDC) and from the …

We present combined field, structural data and spot image analysis, petrographic data, U–
Pb zircon ages, Nd isotopes and whole-rock geochemical data for the late Archaean granite …

Abstract Sandwiched between the Dharwar Craton in the north and the Neoarchean–
Proterozoic crustal blocks to the south, the Coorg Block in southern India is composed …

207Pb/206Pb ages of zircon from gneissic rocks and granitoids representing all major
lithological units of the Bundelkhand massif, northern India, have been determined using an …

The high‐grade rocks of the Southern Granulite Terrain (SGT) of Peninsular India are
bounded to the north by the Archean Dharwar Craton. Another high‐grade terrane, the …
