The region exposes an unusually deep section through the continental crust. Gravity and
seismic surveys show a ridge-like NE-SW up-war** of the Moho to within 25 km of the …

A fundamental goal of metamorphic petrology is to understand the interrelationships and
controls of intensive variables during metamorphism. Identification of the processes that …

The nature of the amphibolite-to granulite-facies transition zone exposed in the Lofoten–
Vesterålen islands of northern Norway, and the relationships between high-grade …

Xenoliths in basanite from Foster Crater in the foothills of the Transantarctic Mountains have
been used to construct a model of the subcontinental lithosphere and lithospheric processes …

Sedimentary carbonate rocks consist predominantly of carbonate minerals (as the name
implies). There are two main types of carbonate rocks, dolomites and limestones. The first is …

Metasomatic reaction zones which developed at marble-pelitic schist contacts in a granulite
facies terrane in West Greenland contain a consistent sequence of five mineralogical zones …

Marble occurs abundantly in a 31,000 km2 segment of the southern Grenville Province of
the Canadian Precambrian Shield, where it is associated with quartzite, biotite-garnet …

Ten single-crystal X-ray structure refinements of igneous and metamorphic Ba-bearing
micas were determined to define the exchange vectors required to compensate for the …

Lofoten-Vesteralen comprises an amphibolite to granulite facies terrain, metamorphosed in
the granulite facies at 1.8 Ga. Amphibolite facies marbles retain close to premetamorphic …

The contact aureole around the Kaizuki-yama granite, recognized with a width of more than
3 km, ranges from the greenschist to the amphibolite facies. Dolomite and quartz in siliceous …
