Abstract

The orthoclase granite and granodiorite-granite series rocks are extensively exposed in the Bundelkhand granite greenstone belt around Jhansi, Babina and Mauranipur in central part of the craton which are mostly calc-alkaline in nature, low Sr (12-436ppm), low Y (9.1-67) and low Sr/Y (0.24- 21.37) ratio characteristics. These rocks have high Rb (77.7-539), moderate Nb (7.2-42.2) and Nd (21.92-115), and geochemically vary from mostly I- to A-type granites generally formed during syn-to post collision. The chondrite normalized rare earth element distribution pattern is poorly fractionated LaN/LuN=(3.4-31.79) with a negative Europium (Eu) anomaly (Eu/Eu*=0.2-0.82) showing subduction environment. The granodiorite-granite series rocks show mostly volcanic arc setting while orthoclase- granites plots within the syn-collosion to post-collisional granite fields on the Yb+Ta versus Rb and Nb versus Y discrimination diagram. Geochemical characteristics indicate that anhydrous partial melting of the Paleo-Mesoarchean TTG or mafic crustal through subduction setting responsible for formation of these rocks.
