| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the present study, a systematic geological field survey of the Archaean strata of the Dharwar craton, southern India, and its comparison with same age rocks from South Africa was carried out. Important results obtained include, construction of a geological map of Chitradurga Schist Belt, litho- and chronostratigraphy, regional structural evolution, metamorphic evolution, zircon and monazite age dating, analysis of sedimentary structures, whole rock geochemistry and Nd isotope study of volcanic rock units, geochemical studies of TTG gneisses and granites, multiple sulfur isotopes of sedimentary rocks, C, O and S isotope studies of stromatolites, geochemical studies of BIFs and modelling on tectonic evolution.
Based on the above results, we discuss the possible occurrence of diamictites comparable to the Pongola glaciation in South Africa. Combining the above results, we put forward a comprehensive model on the geological evolution of the Archean western Dharwar craton.
