Abstract

Three metasedimentary enclaves up to a kilometre in length of contrasting compositions within the polymetamorphic Banded Gneissic Complex (> 2580Ma) have been studied for their mineral parageneses and metamorphic conditions. The largest enclave, consisting of kyanite-chloritoid-muscovite schist with quartz or corundum, and kyanite-fuchsite-corundum +diaspore, was metamorphosed at most under lower amphibolite conditions, and is thus not isofacial with the surrounding schists and gneisses (of the 'basement' complex) which reached sillimanite-grade metamorphism in the last orogenic cycle (Aravalli: 1650-950Ma Orogeny) in Rajasthan.
