Granophyre dykes from Hunsur area, Mysore district, Mysore state

  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Abstract

Four granophyre dykes occur in the Hunsur area cutting the foliation of the Peninsular gneiss. Petrology, mineralogy and petrochemistry have revealed that these dykes are formed from the crystallization and cooling of an acid residuum of a basic magma.
