Distinguishing features:
Banas lineament or
Jahazpur Thrust that
separates Hindoli belt from
Mangalwar Complex in the
PL north and Mewar Gneiss in
south.
KL
Rikhadev Lineament
enclosing an ultramafic-
mafic belt between shallow
self and deep water facies
Aravalli fold belt.
Phulad Lineament,West of
Delhi Fold Belt marked the
+ and X denote tectonic boundary between
Basement Complex- Mewar and Marwar cratons
of composite Aravalli
Hindoli,Mangalwar,San Craton.
Banded Gneissic
Complex(BGC)
Heron(1953) considers it as the
oldest stratigraphic unit of
Rajasthan.
Amphibolite facies
supracrustals and Granitoids/TTG
Other Tectono Startigraphic Units related
to BGC occuring within Aravalli Craton
HINDOLI GROUP:
Named after Hindoli near Bundi.
Both faulted and unconformable
with Vindhyan.
Equated with Gwalior group of
Bundelkhand Craton.
Mainly Turbidite with minor
volcanics,greywackes and
phyllite.
BERACH GRANITE:
Divided into
Lasaria,Potla,Suwana and Kekri
SANDMATA COMPLEX(SMC):
2830 Ma
MINERALISED SUPRACRUSTAL
BELTS
JAHAZPUR BELT:Basal
Conglomerate,gritty
quartzite,grey phyllite,dolomite
with BIF,rhyolite and Basic
Volcanics.
Greenschist Facies of
Metamorphism.
RAIALO GROUP:
-Basal Conglomerate(well
sorted,Texturally mature
suggesting Beach Environment)
-Pebbly Quartzites
ALWAR GROUP:
-Conglo.,Orthoquartzite,Feldspathic
Quartzite
AJABGARH GROUP:

BASANTGARH GROUP:
NEOPROTEROZOIC OF MARWAR
CRATON
-Marwar Craton consists
of Neoproterozoic
supracrustal belts of
Sirohi,Sindreth and
Punagarh.
SIROHI GROUP:
-Fine grained sediments
of pelite-quartzite-marble
occuring near Sirohi.
SINDRETH GROUP:
-Thick Sequence of weakly
deformed and feebly
metamorphosed
arenaceous sediments
PUNAGARH GROUP:
-Oval Outcrop near
Punagarh containing
Shale,Phyllite and Mica
GRANITE INTRUSIONS
ERINPURA GRANITE:
325 km long and 3 to 15 km wide
along the western margin of SDFB
and Sirohi belt and includes Mt.Abu
and Sewariya granites.
Sewariya Granite is the largest
pluton of the erinpura granite suite.
Other granites are BALDA
GRANITE,DEGANA GRANITE,GODHRA
GRANITE.
MALANI IGNEOUS
SUITE(MIS)-MIS is the largest felsic volcanic
province of India and the 3rd largest in
the world.
Rock Type:
MIS divided into 3 phases of igneous
activity .
3.Dyke Swarms-
Gabbro,Dolerite,Granite,Rhyolite,And
esite etc.
1.Bimodal Volcanics-
Rhyolite,Rhyodacite,Dacite.
MIS=EXTRUSIVE +INTRUSIVE

-Typically platformal sequence
characterised by the presence of
Evaporites.

TECTONIC EVOLUTION OF
ARAVALLI CRATON
2.Sedimentation in the
Aravalli Basin started
synchronously with
basic magmatism
producing gabbros and
basalts.
4.Decompression
Melting occurred.
5.Underplating caused
crustal extension.
6.Untala,Gingla,Sendra
7.Slab Break off occurred.
8.Continued
underplating,Granulite facies of
Metamorphism,SMC granulite
emplaced.
