“…Metamorphic garnets overgrowing the tectonic fabric in granitoids are common in the well‐foliated/gneissose varieties in the south but are absent in the weakly foliated granitoids northwards within the corridor. The lithologies in the corridor are in sharp contrast to those in the Goa Schist Belt (WDC) dominated by NNW‐trending bands of greenschist facies metagreywacke (chlorite‐muscovite ± calcite ± biotite schist), Banded Iron Formation, amphibolite (actinolite‐chlorite schist), polymict and quartz conglomerate and quartzite, and mafic‐ultramafic complexes comprising gabbro, troctolite, wehrlite, dunite, peridotite, pyroxenite, and chromitite, and chromite‐bearing serpentinite [ Jena , , ; Geological Survey of India , ; Dessai et al ., ; Ishwar‐Kumar et al ., ; Rekha et al ., ]. The Quepem granitoid pluton intrusive into the schists is deformed along with the supracrustals [ Rekha et al ., ].…”
