Fission-track ages of cogenetic minerals namely apatite, and zircon from syenite rocks of the Sushina hill, Tamar Porapahar Shear Zone (TPSZ), coupled with the corresponding closure temperatures of the minerals have been used to reveal the uplift history of syenite rocks. Offset of their FT ages indicates that the samples uplifted at the rate of 9.97 m/Ma during the period 535 Ma-970 Ma.
