Garnet could be the ultimate petrochronometer. Not only can you date it directly (with an
accuracy and precision that may surprise some), but it is also a common rock-forming and …

Ultrahigh temperature (UHT) metamorphism is the most thermally extreme form of regional
crustal metamorphism, with temperatures exceeding 900° C. UHT crustal metamorphism is …

Recent crystallographic data indicate that in biotite Ti orders preferentially onto the M2
octahedral site rather than onto the M1 site as assumed in previous solution models for K2O …

The geological inventory of the Variscan Bohemian Massif can be summarized as a result of
Early Devonian subduction of the Saxothuringian ocean of unknown size underneath the …

It is still a matter of debate what were the protoliths of the felsic HP granulites; arguments for
major HP melting period giving rise to these rocks and the alternative view of the granulites …

Partial melting of deep continental crust may occur during either prograde heating or
decompression. Although the effect of temperature on crustal melting has been widely …

In order to portray the main differences and similarities between the Northeastern Variscan
segments (French Massif Central (FMC), Vosges, Black Forest and Bohemian Massif (BM)) …

The Třebíč Pluton (TP) comprises plutonic rocks of the 'durbachite series', ie, ultrapotassic
biotite–amphibole quartz melasyenites–melagranites with conspicuous K-feldspar …

In the classical view of metamorphic microstructures, fast viscous relaxation (and so constant
pressure) is assumed, with diffusion being the limiting factor in equilibration. This …

Evolving pressure–temperature conditions during metamorphism drive changes in the
stable mineral assemblage, mineral proportions and mineral compositions in rocks. These …
