Geothermometry of the granitoids of eastern Higher Kumaun Himalaya, India

The granitoids of eastern Higher Kumaun Himalaya show a metamorphic history extending from the Precambrian to Tertiary. The granitisation and formatio n of the granitoids within the Higher Himalaya were related to an early met amorphism (M-1) that took place during Precambrian. Temperatures of the gra nitoids of eastern Higher Kumaun Himalaya are estimated based on co-existin g feldspar pairs, alkali feldspar-muscovite geothermometer and Ti content i n micas and are round to be in conformity with temperatures prevailing in t he upper amphibolite facies.
