Title: Metasomatized Kyanite-eclogites xenoliths from a southern Indian kimberlite
Abstract: Geologic settingKimberlites discovered so far in southern India are restricted to the Eastern Block of the Dharwar Craton and are distributed in three fields: Wajrakarur, Narayanpet, and Raipur.As summarized recently by Paul et al. (2006) and Patel et al. ( 2006), known kimberlite pipes in the Wajrakarur kimberlite field (WKF), which lies at the western margin of the Cuddapah Basin, occur in three clusters: Wajrakarur -Lattavaram (13 pipes, P-1 to P-13); Chigicherla (5 pipes, CC-1 to CC-5); and Kalyandurg (4 pipes, KL-1 to KL-4).
