Abstract

The metamorphosed ultramafic-mafic bodies of the Kudada area are located close to the Singhbhum Shear Zone (SSZ) in eastern India, where the major rock types are talc-magnesite schist and serpentinite with accessory chromite and magnetite veins. The ultramafic bodies and associated metavolcanic rocks are part of the northern extension of the Early Archean Gorumahisani greenstone belt and belong to the Iron Ore Group (IOG) supracrustal sequence. This study reveals intense compositional variability in accessory chromites of serpentinite with core composition of chromites are characterized by the variable Cr# [Cr/(Cr+Al)] = 0.53–0.82 and Mg# [Mg/(Mg+Fe2+)] = 0.01–0.17. Compositional variability on the scale of a single chromite grain occurs in the form of multi-stage zoning. To identify the patterns of compositional zoning, chromites of serpentinite are subdivided into four types depending on their grain size, reflectivity of different rims, intensity of fracture, and porosity, and supported by in-situ mineral chemistry. The type-I chromites are less fractured and non-porous variety showing the outermost chrome magnetite rim envelops the inner ferritchromit rim. Porosity is mainly developed in the type-II grains where the inner ferritchromit is formed surrounding the pore spaces. The type-III chromites are small clustered grains having ferritchromit core and chrome magnetite rim while the type-IV grains are completely altered to chrome magnetite. Textural relations and mineral chemistry indicate that metamorphism and activities of H2O and CO2-rich hydrothermal fluids during tectonic evolution of the Singhbhum Shear Zone (SSZ) might have caused these zoning patterns and compositional variabilities in accessory chromites of the Kudada area. Cation exchange between chromite and silicate minerals along with intra-grain cation diffusion within different Cr-spinel zones further intensified these processes.
