Tectonometamorphic evolution of the Himalayan metamorphic core between the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri, central NepalJournal of Metamorphic Geology - Tập 14 Số 5 - Trang 635-656 - 1996
Jean‐Claude Vannay, K. V. Hodges
The metamorphic core of the Himalaya in the Kali Gandaki valley of central Nepal corresponds to a 5‐km‐thick sequence of upper amphibolite facies metasedimentary rocks. This Greater Himalayan Sequence (GHS) thrusts over the greenschist to lower amphibolite facies Lesser Himalayan Sequence (LHS) along the Lower Miocene Main Central Thrust (MCT), and it is separated from the overlying low‐gr...... hiện toàn bộ
Metamorphism in Archaean greenstone belts: calculated fluid compositions and implications for gold mineralizationJournal of Metamorphic Geology - Tập 9 Số 2 - Trang 141-150 - 1991
Roger Powell, Thomas Will, G. Neil Phillips
An inescapable consequence of the metamorphism of greenstone belt sequences is the release of a large volume of metamorphic fluid of low salinity with chemical characteristics controlled by the mineral assemblages involved in the devolatilization reactions. For mafic and ultramafic sequences, the composition of fluids released at upper greenschist to lower amphibolite facies conditions for...... hiện toàn bộ
Interlayer and Si content of phengite in HP–LT carpholite‐bearing metapelitesJournal of Metamorphic Geology - Tập 19 Số 5 - Trang 479-495 - 2001
Philippe Agard, Olivier Vidal, Bruno Goffé
AbstractPhengite occurring along with carpholite±lawsonite and/or chloritoid in HP–LT domains shows not only variable Si–(Mg+Fe) contents, but also variable interlayer contents (IC). To determine whether these chemical variations are coherently related to variation in P–T conditions on a regional scale, c. 100 r...... hiện toàn bộ
Mixing properties of phengitic micas and revised garnet‐phengite thermobarometersJournal of Metamorphic Geology - Tập 20 Số 7 - Trang 683-696 - 2002
R.M. Coggon, T. J. B. Holland
AbstractMixing properties for muscovite–celadonite–ferroceladonite solid solutions are derived from combining available experimental phase equilibrium data with tabulated thermodynamic data for mineral end‐members. When a partially ordered solution model is assumed, the enthalpy of mixing among the end‐members muscovite–celadonite–ferroceladonite is nearly ideal, a...... hiện toàn bộ
Petrology, geochronology, and tectonics of shear zones in the Zermatt–Saas and Combin zones of the Western AlpsJournal of Metamorphic Geology - Tập 20 Số 2 - Trang 263-281 - 2002
Ian Cartwright, A. C. Barnicoat
AbstractMetre to tens‐of‐metre wide, steeply dipping, greenschist facies shear zones that cut blueschists and eclogites of the Combin and Zermatt–Saas Zones at Täschalp and in adjacent areas of the western Alps were sites of extensive recrystallization driven by fluid flow and deformation. Rb–Sr data imply that these shear zones formed at...... hiện toàn bộ
Serpentinites of the Zermatt‐Saas ophiolite complex and their texture evolutionJournal of Metamorphic Geology - Tập 22 Số 3 - Trang 159-177 - 2004
Zhang Li, Meinert Rahn, Kurt Bucher
AbstractThe Zermatt‐Saas serpentinite complex is an integral member of the Penninic ophiolites of the Central Alps and represents the mantle part of the oceanic lithosphere of the Tethys. Metamorphic textures of the serpentinite preserve the complex mineralogical evolution from primary abyssal peridotite through ocean‐floor hydration, subduction‐related high‐pressu...... hiện toàn bộ
Eclogitization of the Monviso ophiolite (W. Alps) and implications on subduction dynamicsJournal of Metamorphic Geology - Tập 30 Số 1 - Trang 37-61 - 2012
Samuel Angiboust, Ryan Langdon, Philippe Agard, David J. Waters, Christian Chopin
AbstractTo constrain deep (40–100 km) subduction dynamics, extensive P–T data are provided on the eclogitic Monviso ophiolite derived from the subducted Liguro‐Piemontese oceanic lithosphere (which was exhumed, together with associated continental units, before the Alpine collision). The Monviso ophiolite has so far been interpreted eithe...... hiện toàn bộ
