Abstract

Charnockites have been noticed in the canal sections near Hullahalli, south of Mysore city. From their field, petrographic and chemical character, it is argued that they were formed as a result of granulite grade metamorphism and migmatization of pelites and intercalated earlier basic igneous rocks and pelites of the Sargur schist complex.
