Igneous zircons from gray and pink granites in the complex have been investigated texturally, morphologically, and finally measured for 207Pb/206Pb, 207Pb/235U, 206Pb/238Pb, and 208Pb/232Th isotope ratios. Most of the zircons are euhederal, oscillatory zoned, and contain common inclusions of needle-like apatite and less common monazite, xenotime, and K-feldspar. Selected grains in six samples from gray and pink granites were analyzed for U¡VPb dating and the results plotting on or near the concordia were used for interpretation. Zircons from four samples of gray granites yielded U¡VPb mean ages of 751 ¡Ó 9 Ma (MSWD = 0.29) with concordia intercepting at 750 ¡Ó 9 Ma (MSWD = 0.29) for sample NGP62a, 726 ¡Ó 13 Ma (MSWD = 1.6) with concordia intercepting at 731 ¡Ó 15 Ma (MSWD = 1.7) for sample NGP62b, 662 ¡Ó 13 Ma (MSWD = 2.7) with concordia intercepting at 711 ¡Ó 27 Ma (MSWD = 0.98) for sample NP12, and 740 ¡Ó 9 Ma (MSWD = 1.3) with concordia intercepting at 736 ¡Ó 12 Ma (MSWD = 1.3) for sample NP62. One sample (NP01) from grayish white granite gave U¡VPb mean age of 699 ¡Ó 26 Ma (MSWD = 10.4) with concordia intercepting at 62 and 950 Ma (MSWD = 2.8). Similarly, zircons from one sample from pink granite (sample NP10) yielded U¡VPb mean age of 713 ¡Ó 32 Ma (MSWD = 1.5) with concordia intercepts at 726 ¡Ó 41 Ma (MSWD = 1.9). The combined U¡VPb zircon age data from the analyzed samples show a continuous crustal growth, from 775 Ma until 640 Ma, indicating a magmatic span of >100 million years. The magmatism in the Nagar Parkar Igneous complex, a part of the Indian Shield, could be associated with an earlier Andean-type tectonic setting in the Rodinia supercontinent followed by rift-related extensional tectonic setting during the Neoproterozoic Era. Our comprehensive age data thus define a precise time span of crustal growth in the Indian Shield between 640 and ~775 Ma and refine the previously reported ages spanning between 1.1 Ga and 0.75 Ga. ? 2018 International Association for Gondwana Research |
