Geology of the District:- Tiruppur district of Tamil Nadu forms a part of southern Granulitic terrain and is predominantly occupied by crystalline rocks of Archaean to late Proterozoic age. Regionally, the rocks can be grouped under five categories namely i. Charnockite Group represented by Charnockite, Pyroxene Granulite and Magnetite Quartzite, ii. Peninsular Gneissic Complex (II) comprising hornblende-biotite gneiss, iii. Basic intrusive include Pyroxinite/Dunite iv. Younger intrusive comprising, Nepheline-Syenite,Pink Granite, Pegmatite and Quartz veins and v. Quaternary sediments of Kankar and soil.

Pub. 30, 2006 Plate – 2 9 | P a g e Plate - 2 10 | P a g e Tiruppur District is predominantly occupied by hornblende Biotite gneisses of PGC (II) with enclaves of Magnetite Quartzite, Pyroxene Granulite and Charnockite. The area exposes several bands of Pyroxene Granulite which is medium grained, medium to dark grey in colour and stand out prominently in the gneissic country generally parallel to regional foliation. Charnockite is coarse grained, massive, many places it is foliated, grey coloured and greasy and exposed as bouldery outcrops and small knolls. It is well exposed in Central, Western and Southern parts of the Tiruppur District.
