  • The mingling textures in granitoids and porphyritic rocks are sometimes present in field which we seldom observe. The process of their formation can be closely correlated with the rheology depending upon density and viscosity. On the other hand, there are roles of fluid dynamics in this complex interplay in regions where magma shows the texture. as well as variable mineralogy. The energy and mass balance in this scenario is complicated as well as genesis of new minerals like peritectic phases can be argued during these events. This study will focus on the numerical analyses and a few field evidences from a locale.

Past and current research works:

 

My previous reserach work was on the generation and characterization megacrystic granitoid and associated rock types from Nagavalli Shear Zone (NSZ), Eastern Ghats Belt (EGB), India. It includes the study of different generations of deformation and metamorphism in the lithotypes. The tectonic framework of emplacement of granitoids was also a prerequisite. Subsequent petrotectonic evolution and the tectonic implication are also important to note down as we want to build up a petrological, mineralogical as well as structural evolutionary pattern of lithotypes, principally the granitoids. The timing of different events circumscribing the above facts and their context in terms of Grenvillian orogenesis, suggested by earlier workers from EGB was also under further detailing. What terms it dictate in terms of orogenic cycles and continental crustal processes and reworking will be important for noting down throughout our current research. Possible publications are on hault. Thesis submitted in the exact same phenomena.

The generation of the granitoids and their emplacement was investigated noting the rheological characters and the dykes and injections of one over annother. The areal extension shows that it was a batholitic complex comprising plutons. A minimum temperature of around 880 degree was estimated from various analytical algorithms. That also suites with the igneous zircon grains preserved in polyzonal zircon cores. Assimilation and fractional crystallization was also substantiated from geochemical trace element modelling. Evidences of garnet generation were found from the signs of elements like Nb. However, fractionation of plagioclase was also established from major elements during ascent. The behavior of mingling at later stages rather than mixing also supported the assimilation process. The mafic microgranuler enclaves proved to be the earliest pieces of the granitoids found.

Currently active for investigation related to Himalayan orogeny as can be observed from the abstract and publication. As far as there had been problems. The start up and fresh works with the Himalayan orogeny had been under development through the busy schedule. Structural, ore genesis related studies had been done with communication (Tourmaline) around Pedong-Lanbha-Rhenok-Rongli.
