TL;DRAbstract
The Indian and Eurasian plate started to converge during Maastrichtian ( Late Cretaceous ) and Neotethys sea closed. The Manipur Ophiolitic Complex ( MOC ) contains NE – SW trending olistrostromal belt ranging in age from Paleocene to Middle Eocene in the Nagaland Manipur Ophiolite belt. The ophiolitic melange in the NMO belt is a complex association of various tectonic slivers of Late Cretaceous to Eocene age and has been inferred to be an accreted terrain deformed in a convergent trench setting. Sedimentary, mafic and ultramafic tectonic blocks are emplaced in the ophiolitic melange by subduction related non collision process. The Manipur Ophiolitic Complex initially formed in the mid oceanic ridge setting in the weak rift zone at the eastern margin of the Indian Plate [ 1,2,3 ]. The initial rifting was probably initiated during the Late Cretaceous ( SantonianMaastrichtian ) period. At this stage of formation of the mid oceanic ridge tectonic regime , the development of the ridges st
