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‐grade

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 the nec... 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
rock samples were sampled in metapelites metamorphosed at conditions varying
from 350 °C... 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 42–37 Ma with a systematic younging of structures

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, although the Gibbs
energies of mus... 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‐pressure overprint,
meso‐Alpine greensc... 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 either as a fossilized subduction channel,
with tectonic blocks d... hiện toàn bộ
Exhumation of the Schistes Lustrés complex: in situ laser probe 40Ar/39Ar constraints and implications for the Western AlpsJournal of Metamorphic Geology - Tập 20 Số 6 - Trang 599-618 - 2002
Philippe Agard, Patrick Monié, Laurent Jolivet, Bruno Goffé
AbstractThe Schistes Lustrés (SL) suture zone occupies a key position in the
Alpine chain between the high‐pressure (HP) Brianconnais domain and the
ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) Dora Maira massif, and reached subduction depths
ranging from c. 40–65 km (Cottian Alps). In order to constrain the timing of HP
metamorphism and subsequent exhumation, several phengite generations were
differentiated, on the ... hiện toàn bộ
