Geothermometry of the Granitoids of Eastern Higher Kumaun Himalaya, India
View through CrossRef
Abstract
The granitoids of eastern Higher Kumaun Himalaya show a metamorphic history extending from the Precambrian to Tertiary. The granitisation and formation of the granitoids within the Higher Himalaya were related to an early metamorphism (M1) that took place during Precambrian. Temperatures of the granitoids of eastern Higher Kumaun Himalaya are estimated based on co-existing feldspar pairs, alkali feldspar-muscovite geothermometer and Ti content in micas and are found to be in conformity with temperatures prevailing in the upper amphibolite facies.
