摘要

The extra-peninsular Gondwana Group rocks are exposed in narrow patches within the Lesser Himalayan sequence of the NE-Arunachal Himalayas, India. The bulk of sediments for the sandstones of the Gondwana Group were derived from felsic/acidic to intermediate igneous rocks, with minor mafic input from the upper continental crust (UCC), as supported by various discrimination diagrams based on quantification of detrital minerals coupled with sandstone geochemistry. The inputs from metamorphic sources in subordinate amounts cannot be ruled out, as indicated by quantification of the quartz varieties. These sediments were found to be sourced from the interior part of a craton or shield and recycled platformal sediments which were derived from both passive and active margin settings. The sediments experienced a wide variance in climatic conditions, from arid to humid, suffering low–moderate-intensity weathering (CIA: 63.43; CIW: 86.18; WIP: 44.84; PIA: 75.37; ICV: 2.39; C-value: 0.42; PF: 0.49; Sr/Cu: 9.23 and Rb/Sr: 1.68) within the vicinity of the low plains to moderate hills. Additionally, redox-sensitive elements indicate the deposition of sediments under oxygenated or oxygen-rich conditions (Uau: −2.91; Th/U: 7.37; U/Th: 0.18; V/Cr: 1.71; δU: 0.67 and Ce/Ce*: 0.93).
