Abstract: Petro-chemical Charecterisation of Granitoids in and

around Rajawarm area ( N 160 401 58.811 E 790 241 43.511),

north eastern part of Peddavoora Schist Belt (PSB) has been

investigated. This granitoid forms a part of felsic basement of

Palnad Sub-basin, with in Cuddapah Basin. Eleven GPS

controlled samples were studied on certain petrological and

geochemical entities. The granitoid includes quartz, K-feldspar

and plagioclase as felsic phases and biotite, hornblende represent

ferromagnesian phases, and apatite, sphene, ilmenite occurs as

major mineralogical accessory constituents. The geochemical

discriminations of major, trace and REE have revealed their

affinity to A-type Granitoid (based on the ratio A/CNK (1.24-

1.66, avg 1.48) V/s A/NK (6.41-9.12, avg 7.91), (Shand 1943).)

Enrichment of LILE, and LREE, and positive to moderately

positive Eu anomaly, further confirms this. The Rajawaram

granitoid exhibiting these characters is located on the north

eastern portion of Peddavoora Schist Belt (PSB).

The geochemical signatures of trace elements with special

reference to Rb(69.24-228.31) vs Ta+Yb has clear bearing on

tectonic environment (Jayananda, M. 2006). Majority of these

plots with other ratios ie., Rb vs Y+Nb , Nb(1.96-12.35) vs

Y(5.22-31.78, avg 16.22) exhibits syn-collisional and volcanic

arc setting. However, Ta vs Yb ratios do not totally

acknowledge this setting.

The petro-chemical nature of this Granitoid indicates nature and

type of Anorogenesis, and pin points the tectonic environment of

formation and assign distinct type of granitoid at Rajawaram

area, Nalgonda Dt. Telangana State.

Keywords: Geochemical characterization, Type of granitoid,

tectonic evolution Rajaswaram area, Peddavoora Schist Belt.

Geology of the area

The area on the north eastern portion of Peddavoora Schist belt is

composed of banded, highly coarse grained granitoids intruded

by quartz, felspathic, epidote and ferruginous veins. Aluminum

saturated index for these granitoids indicated that they exhibit

meta aluminus nature (Hanumanthu et al 2007) (Fig.1).

Intense jointing manifested in three sets of jointing sometimes

develops fracture cleavage. Banding of feldspathic and

ferruginous material seldom become migmatitic (Fig.2) (Reddy,

U.V.B. 1991). Migmatised granitoids also show en-echelon

basic enclaves (Fig.3) (Mansoor Ahmad 2011) (Sesha Sai, V.V et

al 2010). Felsic and mafic enclaves are common and generally

occupy the defined structural planes. The foliated granitoids

occasionally exhibit thinning and thickening of the bands

(Moyen, L-F et al, 2003). Kaolinisation is observed as alteration

product when in contact with water.

Structure

The Peddavoora schist belt extends over a Strike length of 30 km

from Juvvigudem in the north to Ethipothala in the south east

separating the granitoids on its either side. Dolerite dykes

trending N-S, almost E-W and NNE-SSW cut across the schist

belt (Fig.4). The N-S dykes are prominent in the granitoids

occur along Western flank of the schist belt (Sesha Sai, V.V.

2004) (Babu, V.R.R.M. 2008). Whereas these trends are less

occurring along the eastern flank. The dykes observed in the area

around Rajawaram area are observed along E-W direction where

as west of Peddagattu are N-S. NE-SW trends are more

prominent in the eastern part (Fig.5). However ESE-WNW are

following this trend (Fig.10). Other trends are less prominent. A

rose diagram was shown in the Fig.11 (Rose diagram of the joint

pattern along the eastern part of PSB).

There are displacements observed in the gneissic structure of the

granitoid particularly in the quartzo-felspathic veins prominently

indicating movement parallel to N-S in the area (Srinivasan, K.N

et al, 1995). Basic dykes cutting across the granitoids are also

more prominent along N-S along the western portion.

Petrography

The Rajawaram area, located on the eastern part of Peddavoora

Schist belt, is composed of coarse grained granite occasionally

banded / gneissic emplaced by quartz, felspathic, and epidote

veins. Close examination of the rock indicates existence of some

ferruginous veins. Aluminum saturated index (indicate the

value) calculated on this granitoid exhibits meta-aluminus nature.

The granitoid exhibits banding in which Quartzo-feldspathic and

ferromegnisian mineral bearing bands can be differentiated by

naked eye. Texturally the granitoid is coarse to moderately

grained and occasionally altered or kaolinised. Myrmekite

texture is occasionally present (Fig.6) (Ravi, et. al. 2011). The

granitoids are occasionally migmatised with basic enclaves of

older rocks. Petrographically the granitoid exhibits altered

plagioclase (Fig.7), hornblende, sphene, biotite (Fig.8) and

epidote (Fig.9). Quartzo-feldspathic veins generally occupy the

structural planes. thickness of the vein range in width from few

mm to few centimeters in the area. Foliation and lineation are

markedly visible on weathered surfaces with participation

minerals like, feldspars, hornblende and epidote. Basic dykes and

quartzo-feldspathic veins, observed along structural avenues,

facilitated emplacement.

Petro-chemistry

Petrologically these granitoids have been identified as

hornblende to biotite granite with more abundance of plagioclase

feldspar over K-feldspar (Orthoclase / microcline). These

granitoids show variable SiO2 (59.39 - 71.8% ), Al2O3 (14.16 –

18.57%), CaO (1.23 – 6.62%) , Na2O (3.89 – 6.06%), and MgO

(0.13 – 2.76%), Fe2O3 (0.93 – 7.88%), TiO2 (0.06 – 0.86%) and

K2O (1.03 – 5.1`8%), with low K2O/Na2O (0.215 – 1.08) The

high Al2O3, CaO, MgO and Na2O moderate to low K2O

content. The high TiO2 content (0.11-0.86, except one sample

analyzing 0.06%) is attributed to the presence of ilmenite / rutile

and biotite. (Na20+K2O) content in these samples ranges from

5.81to 9.95(Table.1). The high CaO, Na2O and moderate SiO2

content indicates (Pandey. A.K, 2012) the grano-diorite, tonalite

and even diorite phases.

Moderate to high SiO2, CaO, Na2O, MgO, Fe2O3 low K2O and

metaluminus (Shand 1943) (Fig.13) nature (A/CNK= 0.24 to

1.66 ), (Druppel. K et al 2009) presence of biotite, hornblende in

the mode and negative Ti, P and Nb indicates their arc

characters. The petro-mineralogy and geochemical

characterization of these granitoids indicate A-type character,

(Vijaya Kumar, K et al 2011) (Dwivedi, A.K et al, 2011). CaO

and Na2O abundance suggests abundant plagioclase. Ba and Sr

enrichment Rb, K and La indicates comparative nature with

typical crustal melts (Bouseily, 1975). Some samples indicate

very high content of Ba with high alumina, and as per Shand

diagram they can be observed as I/A (Chappel, et al,1974) type

granitoids.

Granitoid referred here include „Senso-stricto‟ granite –

adamalite – granodiorite - tonalite / trondhjimite, monzonite,

syenite (Harpum. J.R 1963). In the continental crust they are

volumetrically predominant and hence they can be selectively

identified with different mineralization viz Ag, Au, Ni, Cu, U

etc.. Although these elements are widely distributed in crustal

rocks, they are not abundant. In the relative abundance, they are

slightly more common (0 - <10ppm) than the precious metals

Ag, Au and Pt (0.001 to 0.1 ppm) and less abundant than Pb, Zn,

Cu or Ni (10-100 ppm). These rare elements, due to their

geochemically incompatible nature, (controlled by ionic size,

charge and electronegativity etc.) concentrate in acidic magma

/melt and residual fluids from which the granitoids originate

(Dobmeier, C et al, 2006).

The high CaO, Na2O and moderate SiO2 content indicate the

presence of granodiorite, tonalite and even diorite (De la Roche

et al, 1980). R1-R2 plot (De la Roche et al. 1980) shows majority

of samples in Granite-Granodiorite-Diorite (through tonalite)

field (Fig.12). Paleotectonic aspects based on Rb-Vs-(Y+Nb)

tectonic discrimination plot (after Pearce et al, 1984) (Fig.14)

occupy volcanic arc granite field. The ratio between 1000*Ga /Al

and elements like Y,Zr, Zn, Nb and Agpaitic Index and

K2O/Na2O of the granitoids belonging to the east side of PSB

have fallen in the A-type field (Whalen, 1987) (Fig.15).

Moderate to high SiO2, CaO, Na2O, MgO, Fe2O3 relatively less

K2O and metaluminus nature (A/CNK=1.24 to 1.66) the

presence of biotite, hornblende in the mode and negative Ti, P

and Nb further conforms arc characters. The petro-mineralogy

and geochemical characterization of these granitoids indicate

predominant A-type character.

The trace element contents of granitoids located on the eastern

side of PSB show different concentrations with moderate to low

content of HFSE that is normally Zr, Nb, Y, Th, U, Ga (Sun and

McDonough, 1984) (Fig.16). These granites have analysed low

to moderate content of Rb (69.24 - 228.31ppm)(Table.2). Cr

ranges from 8.48 to 228.57 ppm. Co, Ni exhibits an average

values of 20.89 ppm and 1.49 ppm (Dewashsis Upadhyay, 2008).

The enrichment of LREE and generally positive and occasionally

negative Eu anomaly (Table.3) (Nakamura, 1974) (Fig.17)

suggests that the source melts were generated with mixed

fractionation trends.

CONCLUSION

The Granitoid has significantly occupied the eastern portion of

PSB forming part of basement granite in the area below palnad

formations. Structurally they are controlled by a prominent NNE-

SSW trend. The plot of structural data (Rose diagram) exhibits

distinction of granitoids with defined trend. Petro-chemically the

granitoids located in and around Rajawarm area remarkably

exhibit distinct character ex: Alkali Granite, Grano-

diorite,(ademellite) Monzonite, Quartz- Monzonite and syenites.

The aluminium saturation index plot authentically correlated

with metaluminous nature and the spider diagram of minor and

trace element geochemical plot further confirms their affinity to

A-type Granitoid. Tectonic discrimination plots show that, these

granitoids occupy volcanic arc granite field. The petro-

mineralogical and geochemical characterization of these

granitoid indicates predominant A-type character. Major and

trace element distribution and REE exhibits parameters confirms

A-type granitoids.
