Abstract
H?gbomite associated with vanadium bearing titaniferous magnetite has been identified in mafic-ultramafic suite of rocks of Moulabhanj, Orissa, India. The igneous complex intruded into granulite terrain of Eastern Ghat Super Group. The iron mineral assemblages are Ti-V magnetite, martite and ilmenite. H?gbomite occurs in association with Ti-V magnetite and exhibits both primary and secondary micro-textures. EPMA study confirms the presence of h?gbomite.
