    Abstract:

    Reports of shoshonitic rocks in Precambrian terrains are relatively rare. Pl-Grt amphibolites and Hbl-Bt mafic granulites occurring in the migmatitic gneisses of the Chhotanagpur Gneissic Complex (CGC) show calc-alkaline and shoshonitic characteristics. Relict porphyritic, sub-ophitic and poikilitic textures are noted in these rocks. Their parent magma was emplaced during the waning phase of the regional metamorphism. Geochemically, these?metamafics are similar to the Group III potassic and ultrapotassic rocks of Foley et al. (1987). The magma was derived from the metasomatized subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM). Subduction-related sediment melts metasomatized the SCLM. Compositionally, The emplacement of shoshonitic magma and subsequent decompression happened at the slab break-off stage of continental collision (~990 Ma).
