The present study is focused on the apatite alteration in clinopyroxene and K-feldspar-dominated deformed syenite and the processes involved in REE enrichment from the northern Eastern Ghats Belt (EGB). A petrographic study reveals that the fluorapatite megacrysts, most likely crystallized from syenitic magma, underwent dissolution and reprecipitation in the presence of hydrothermal fluid of the C-H-O system. Such fluid appears to be of late-magmatic origin, which became fluorine-rich (C-H-O-F fluid) following its interaction with the already formed fluorapatite grains. During such interaction, REEs from the fluorapatite were released to form REE-fluorcarbonate+monazite+allanite+thorite±epidote, resulting in the REE deposition. In-situ U-Pb zircon dating yields the age of emplacement of syenite at ca. 756 Ma. Moreover, from the Th-U-total Pb monazite chemical dating, ca. 735 Ma is interpreted as the age of hydrothermal alteration. Monazite and zircon spot dates younger than ca. 700 Ma, additionally, correspond to younger metamorphic and deformation episodes. The present study provides new evidence of alkaline magmatism at the northern EGB, which has remained less explored in recent times. Such magmatism is possibly related to the fragmentation of the composite Rayner-Eastern Ghats block and marks the location of an otherwise undetected paleosuture resulting from the collision of India and East Antarctica during the late Neoproterozoic time.
