Prograde and retrograde growth of monazite in migmatites: An example from the Nagercoil Block, southern India by Johnson, Tim, Clark, Christopher, Taylor, Richard, Santosh, M., Collins, A.

“…Data from a migmatised metapelite raft enclosed within charnockite provide quantitative constraints on the pressure–temperature–time (P–T–t) evolution of the Nagercoil Block at the southernmost tip of peninsular India. …”

Isotopic systematics of zircon indicate an African affinity for the rocks of southernmost India by Clark, Chris, Collins, A.S., Taylor, Richard, Hand, M.

“…We present a newly acquired SIMS U–Pb, Lu–Hf, O isotopic and trace element geochemical dataset from zircon and garnet from the protoliths of the Nagercoil Block at the very tip of southern India. …”

Peninsular India in Gondwana: The Tectonothermal Evolution of the Southern Granulite Terrain and its Gondwanan Counterparts by Collins, A., Clark, Christopher, Plavsa, Diana

“…The high-grade terranes of southern India are made up of four main tectonic units; from north to south these are a) the Salem Block, b) the Madurai Block, c) the Trivandrum Block, and d) the Nagercoil Block. The Salem Block is essentially the metamorphosed Dharwar craton and is bound to the south by the Palghat-Cauvery shear system — here interpreted as a terrane boundary and the Mozambique Ocean suture. …”

Detrital zircon and igneous protolith ages of high-grade metamorphic rocks in the Highland and Wanni Complexes, Sri Lanka: Their geochronological correlation with southern India an... by Kitano, I., Osanai, Y., Nakano, N., Adachi, T., Fitzsimons, Ian

“…The relic zircon core ages in the HC are comparable with those of the Trivandrum Block and Nagercoil Block of southern India. In contrast, those ages in the WC match the Achankovil Shear Zone and Southern Madurai Block of southern India. …”
