Abstract
Along the Sutlej valley, the lower package of the Higher Himalayan Crystallines (HHC) exposes a small concordant to discordant intrusive grey granite-The Maglad Khad Granite, within garnet mica schist/banded gneiss of the Jeori Formation. This body is fine grained and foliated along the margins, whereas the central part is relatively undeformed. This body along with aplites and pegmatites intrudes the country rock during early to syn-D-1 deformation. This is later affected by the most pervasive D-2-deformation producing gneissosity within the granite. U-Pb dating of zircons by conventional isotopic dilution technique yield an upper intercept age of 2068 +/- 5 Ma (2 sigma) from 6 zircon-fractions with MSWD=0.93, constraining the age of... (More)
