Eastern Ghats Belt; Eastern Ghats Mobile Belt


The Proterozoic Eastern Ghats Belt is a metamorphic belt along the east coast of India, which exposes deep segments of the continental crust, and is considered as a deeply eroded remnant of the present-day Himalayan-type setting.
The Biligiriranga Hills in Karnataka are the tallest hill range in the Eastern Ghats, with many peaks above 1500 m in height.

The Eastern Ghats are made up of charnockite, granite gneiss, khondalite, granite and quartzite rock formations, with economic occurrences of limestone, bauxite and iron ore.
A stratigraphic horizon with Mn-ore and metamanganolite occurrences.

Belongs to Rayagada-Kalahandi-Bolangir belt.

Note: area shape is approximated.

Geochronology

Mineralization age: Neochaotian to Cambrian : ~4600 Ma to 541 ± 1.0 Ma

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
