Abstract:

AbstractCrystalline klippen over the Lesser Himalayan Metasedimentary Sequence (LHMS) zone in the NW Himalaya have specific syn- and post-emplacement histories. These tectonics also provide a means to understand the driving factors responsible for the exhumation of the rocks of crystalline klippen during the Himalayan Orogeny. New meso- and microscale structural analyses, and thermochronological studies across the LHMS zone, Ramgarh Thrust (RT) sheet and Almora klippe in the eastern Kumaun region, NW Himalaya, indicate that the RT sheet and Almora klippe were a part of the Higher Himalayan Cry

Abstract:

Abstract Existing structural models of the Himalayan fold-thrust belt in Kumaun, northwest India, are based on a tectono-stratigraphy that assigns different stratigraphy to the Ramgarh, Berinag, Askot, and Munsiari thrusts and treats the thrusts as separate structures. We reassess the tectono-stratigraphy of Kumaun, based on new and existing U-Pb zircon ages and whole-rock Nd isotopic values, and present a new structural model and deformation history through kinematic analysis using a balanced cross section. This study reveals that the rocks that currently crop out as the Ramgarh, Berinag, Ask

AbstractThe present study reports and investigates ‘lazulite’ occurring in the vicinity of a highly tectonized zone of the Main Central Thrust (MCT) in the Himalaya. The azure blue lazulite, hosted in quartz veins, occurs in fractured Berinag quartzite, which forms the footwall of the MCT near Sobla village in NE Kumaun Himalaya, India. Lazulite was investigated using SEM-EDX, micro Raman spectroscopy, fluid inclusion microthermometry and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). Lazulite contains inclusions of rutile and hematite and has Mg/(Mg+Fe) ratios of 0.86 to 0.90. The phosphorus in lazulit

Abstract A preliminary study and interpretation of LANDSAT-I imagery, covering a large area of Kumaun-Garhwal Himalaya. lying between 79° - 80°30' East longitude and 29°0' - 30°30' North latitude, reveals the presence of four dominant directions of lineaments trending NS, NE-SW, NW/WN-SE/ESE and E-W. The lineament fabric of the region represents axial directions of major folds, regional strike trends of thrusts and of transverse or strike-slip faults.

Abstract Surface indications of basemetal mineralization were detected in the granitic gneisses along the Gurji Stream near Askote in Pithoragarh district of Kumaun Himalaya. The sulfide minerals occur in the form of stringers and disseminations. Investigations reveal that the mineralization is hydrothermal in nature and is controlled by the structural patterns of the host rocks. Mineralogy of the altered zone and textural relationships of the sulfide minerals indicate a high temperature of the hydrothermal fluids.

The Patharkhola area is exposed in the core of the southern limb of the Dudhatoli syncline in the Kumaun Lesser Himalaya. Garnet mica schists of the Patharkhola occur in the folded outcrop pattern being located in between the limbs. They are dominantly composed of garnet, biotite, muscovite, chlorite, plagioclase and a subordinate amount of quartz. Garnet, both xenoblastic as well as idioblastic, is wrapped round by phyllosilicates minerals. These investigated rocks exhibits slightly LREE depleted patterns (LaN/SmN = 0.7, LaN/YbN = 0.64) with flat HREE patterns (SmN/YbN = 0.89). Field evidence

Abstract:

Abstract Detailed structural and metamorphic study has revealed four tectonic episodes in the Almora Crystallines. The first two have brought major metamorphic changes. The earliest event (D1) belonging to the Late Precambrian/Early Palaeozoic orogeny produced the early cleavage (S1), parallel to the axial planes of isoclinal folds (F1) which now trend NNE-SSW. Almandine garnet and sporadically occurring staurolite generated during this pre-Himalayan orogenic event reveal a growth under static condition.

The RF is characterized as dextral strike slip fault and behaves as a ductile shear zone within the zone of NAT.

Abstract In this study, we use published geologic maps and cross-sections to construct a three-dimensional geologic model of major shear zones that make up the Himalayan orogenic wedge. The model incorporates microseismicity, megathrust coupling, and various derivatives of the topography to address several questions regarding observed crustal strain patterns and how they are expressed in the landscape. These questions include: (1) How does vertical thickening vary along strike of the orogen? (2) What is the role of oblique convergence in contributing to along-strike thickness variations and th
