Abstract

In this study, we deduce the age of the collisional orogeny in the Aravalli-Delhi Mobile Belt, using electron microprobe (EMP) dating of monazites of two suites of metapelitic to metapsammitic rocks from the Banded Gneissic Complex of Central Rajasthan. These metasediments of the Sandmata and the Mangalwar Complexes record a high-pressure, upper amphibolite (P ∼ 10.3 ± 0.8 kbar, T ∼ 675 ± 60 °C) to granulite facies (P ∼ 12–14 kbar, T ∼ 815 °C) peak metamorphism (M2P stage) and a post-peak decompression to ∼5 kbar, 575–660 °C (M2R stage), following a clockwise P–T path (M2 event). The metapelites of the Sandmata Complex, however, record an older, medium-pressure, sillimanite-facies granulite metamorphism (M1 event).
