dc.description.abstract |
Forty-five oriented block samples were collected from 12 sites of Mundwara and Sarnu-Dandali alkaline
complexes of western Rajasthan for palaeomagnetic and rock magnetic investigations to constrain the
timing of the emplacement of alkaline suites in relation to the time-frame of main Deccan volcanism.
The rock magnetic studies indicated (titano) magnetite as the main magnetic carrier of stable remanence.
The Lowrie–Fuller (L–F) test revealed SD and PSD type magnetic carrier in samples. AF and thermal
demagnetizations were piloted on the samples to isolate Characteristic Remanent Magnetisation (ChRM)
directions. The samples exhibited stable remanence between 5 and 35 mT during AFD. Thermal
demagnetizations unblocked remanence between 350 and 500 C. The mean ChRM directions with
Declm = 342, Inclm = –35 (a95 = 4.39, K = 121, N = 9) corresponds to paleopole position at 42 N and
274 E with a palaeo-latitude of 24.5 S is coincident with the Deccan Super pole position. The comparison
of ChRM in alkaline complexes with those documented in DVP implies coeval emplacement of alkaline
suites with Deccan eruption. Further, the ChRM marked largely by normal polarity suggests that alkaline
intrusions were accomplished within the magnetic Chron C30N, during the onset of Deccan volcanism.
The results also indicate that Deccan volcanism extended far beyond the present day boundaries of the
traps, especially in the north. |
