Abstract

Pb-Pb isochron age of carbonate rocks of the Jhamarkotra Formation of the Aravalli Supergroup from the Udaipur sector in Rajasthan has been measured for the first time as 1921±67 Ma (2s). We consider this as a reset age, as it is indistinguishable from the earlier reported Rb-Sr isochron age of 1900±80 Ma for the Darwal Granite formed synkinematically with the Aravalli deformation. The depositional age of the Jhamarkotra carbonates could be 200-300 Ma older as suggested by the positive d13C anomalies noted in these carbonate rocks.
