Scientific paper

The chemical composition of the Dharwar metavolcanic suite from Chitaldrug is found to be similar to that of early Precambrian metabasalts from Canadian and Australian Shields. Its low K 2 O content and the similarities in the ferromagnesium trace elements with those of oceanic olivine normative tholeiites indicate a low K 2 O oceanic type of original magma. It is suggested that a protocontinent having a thin crust approaching basic composition existed during the pre-Dharwar era.
