英文摘要	The Amritpur Granite, sandwiched between the two intensely deformed rock packages, occurs adjacent to the Main Boundary Thrust (MBT) in the outer part of the Kumaun Lesser Himalaya. Characteristically, the granite lacks any penetrative tectonic fabric at the microscopic or mesoscopic scales. Using high-resolution mapping, litholog, and outcrop-scale overprinting relationships, we first revisit the tectonic setting of the Amritpur Granite and then attempt to detect the magnetic fabric, if any, in it. For this, we investigate the anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility in the Amritpur Granite and the adjacent lithounits deformed presumably during the Himalayan orogeny. High-resolution mapping demonstrates that the MBT traces the boundary between the Neogene Siwalik sediments and the Proterozoic amphibolite of the Nagthat Formation in the study area. Field relationships and structural setting imply that the granite occurs either as a probable klippe or a basement sliver. The orientations of the mesoscopic scale foliations and lineations are similar to the respective magnetic fabric orientations in the deformed lithounits occurring adjacent to the Amritpur Granite. The tectonically induced magnetic fabric orientations in the deformed lithounits also correlate well with the magnetic fabric orientations in the Amritpur Granite. Several lines of evidence suggest that the magnetic fabrics in the Amritpur Granite and those in the adjacent deformed lithounits were induced during a common deformation phase. © 2021 Elsevier B.V.
