Abstract
The Baradangua alkaline complex on the southern bank of the Brahmani river, Orissa, strikes E-W with steep southerly dips, in conformity with the regional trend of the litho units of the Eastern Ghat Mobile Belt of this sector. The nepheline syenite, a hypersolvus rock, comprises potash feldspar, nepheline, plagioclase and calcite, with biotite as the dominant mafic mineral. The agpaitic index [ mol prop] ranges from 0.43 to 0.74 in the nepheline syenites, indicating their miaskitic nature. Field, petrography and geochemistry suggest a magmatic origin for nepheline syenites, the differentiation pattern being reflected by the distribution of the trace elements.
