摘要：Fry analysis is used to delineate the tectonic finite starin pattern recorded in the granites of Palayamkottai region of Tirunelveli district. From the oriented samples of 10 locations around Palayamkottai, a complex finite strain pattern of constriction-plane and flattening strains from the granites have been estimated. Subhorizontal and subvertical lineations are recorded from granite exposures in the field. The above features suggest that the granites were emplaced during a transpressive tectonic Achankovil shearing of Pan-African time.
