Abstract

Bundelkhand Archaean–Proterozoic Granitoid Complex comprises of an amalgamation of older, deformed Palaeoarchaean Tonalite Trondjhemite Granodiorite (TTG) surrounded by the younger relatively undeformed Neoarchaean high-K calc-alkaline granites. These rocks commenced its evolution during the Palaeo-Archaean (3.3 Ga) and continued to Archaean–Proterozoic Transition (APT). Heterogeneity in granites from southwestern Bundelkhand Craton can be observed in their colour, textural feature and availability of mafic components, thereby dividing them into grey (mafic rich and intermediate variant) and pink granites, which further gets geochemically classified into Closepet-type granites (mafic-rich variant of grey granite: GG), Low Silica High Magnesium monzogranite (LSHM, an intermediate variant of grey granite: IG (for field classification purpose) and High Silica Low Magnesium monzogranite (HSLM, pink granite: PG) on the basis of their major elemental characteristics. The partial melting of the lithologically varied crust and the mantle/lithosphere took place approximately around the same time because of the incompatible element-enriched fluids and melts. This caused the generation of granitoids from Bundelkhand to be varied in nature, resulting in the crustal evolution and stabilisation of the craton around ~3.3 Ga followed by its steady reworking by ~2.57–2.54 Ga. The Closepet type granite resulted from crust-mantle interaction and the monzogranites from crustal melting. Understanding the granitic emplacement within such a short time will help to further decipher the geodynamic changes and the crustal evolutionary processes that were operative during the APT in SW Bundelkhand craton.

Research highlights

  • The manuscript focuses on the geodynamic evolution of the varied granites from SW Bundelkhand Craton.

  • The granites are categorised into grey (mafic-rich grey and intermediate grey) and pink granite on the basis of field geology and petrology. Geochemically they are divided into Closepet type granites (mafic-rich variant of GG) and monzogranites (low silica high magnesium: LSHM, intermediate variant of GG and high silica low magnesium: HSLM, pink granite variant). Their field expressions and the corresponding geochemical signatures can be attributed to a combination of partial melting and fractional crystallisation.

  • The division of granites into a low-silica high-magnesium group indicates crust–mantle interactions (Closepet-granites), and a high-silica low-magnesium group points toward pure crustal melting (monzogranites).
