Abstract The Chitradurga Schist Belt in the Western Dharwar Craton provides a unique
opportunity to investigate regional-scale tectonic processes not only in the Dharwar Craton …

The early Archean oceans were marked by significant redox changes which have
subsequently shaped the Earth's biosphere. Archean chemical sediments of banded Iron …

This manuscript enlists Indian research laboratories that are equipped with sophisticated
instrumental facilities to cater the needs of Indian geoscientific community for high precision …

This article highlights the scientific studies published during the last four years from the
Paleo-Neoarchean Singhbhum, Dharwar and Bastar cratons. The geochronological and …

Records of terrestrial detritus deposited since the Mesoarchean, preserved in sedimentary
basins on cratons, are useful in continental reconstruction. The southern segment of the …

Variations of the short-lived decay products 182 W and 142 Nd that formed approximately
during the first 60 and 500 million years after solar system formation are pivotal in our …

The short‐lived radionuclide system 146Sm‐142Nd can provide direct information about
geological differentiation events in the terrestrial Hadean (> 4.0 Ga) mantle. The …

Trondhjemite, together with tonalite and granodiorite (TTG) are important building blocks of
the Archean continental crust and their studies provide insights into the formation of the early …

Internal inhomogeneity of the zircon crystals makes it difficult to date succedent geological
processes. To overcome this limitation, a four-step pre-examination method is suggested …

Meso-Neoarchean fuchsite quartzites are present in different stratigraphic positions of
Dharwar Craton including the oldest (~ 3.3 Ga) Sargur Group of western Dharwar Craton …
