Tectonostratigraphic Terranes of the Bundelkhand Craton (Indian Shield)

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Geological and Geo-Environmental Processes on Earth

Part of the book series: Springer Natural Hazards ((SPRINGERNAT))

Abstract

The geological, geochronological, and isotopic geochemistry investigations complied with magnetotelluric sounding geophysical deep crustal structure compose three tectonic divisions, i.e., the Northern, Central, and Southern Bundelkhand terranes of the craton. The Central terrane comprises Paleo- and Neo-archean tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite (TTG), greenstone sequences (ultrabasic-basic, felsic volcanites, Banded Iron Formation (BIF)), and Neoarchean granodiorite-granite series considers it as a granite-greenstone terrane. The Northern terrane location north to the granite-greenstone terrane, mostly consists of Neoarchean potassic granitoids with the visible role of sanukitoids, monzogranites, and granodiorites (TTG), while the Southern terrane consists of mostly Neoarchean potassic granitoids with a minor amount of schist complex, sanukitoids, TTG, and mafic–ultramafic layered and mafic intrusion.
