dehsalm metamorphic complex located in east of iran consists of regionally metamorphosed rocks intruded by three phases of granitic masses. synkinematic porphyroblasts of garnet from staurolite-garnet schist present well preserved growth zoning. electron microprobe analysis of selected garnets was carried out to interpret the origin and pattern of zoning in amphibolite facies garnets and its im...

Integrated pseudosection modeling and monazite petrochronology of paragneiss from the Kanchenjunga region of northeastern Nepal reveal the presence of cryptic tectonometamorphic discontinuities within the Himalayan metamorphic core. These new data outline a series of thrust-sense structures that juxtapose rocks that generally record a protracted history of early Eocene to latest Oligocene–early...

The Southern Rhodope Core Complex is a wide metamorphic dome exhumed in the northern Aegean as a result of large-scale extension from mid-Eocene to mid-Miocene times. Its roughly triangular shape is bordered on the SW by the Jurassic and Cretaceous metamorphic units of the Serbo-Macedonian in the Chalkidiki peninsula and on the N by the eclogite bearing gneisses of the Sideroneron massif. The m...

in the contact metamorphic aureole of the next to the granodiorite intrusive body in the hassan-abaad village of yazd, high frequency garnet in different metamorphic zones is notable, which some contain garnet crystal with obvious zoning. obtained data from core to rim of garnet by sem point analysis, show that garnet crystals belong to grandite series, and sharp variation of al and fe from cen...

Mashhad Metamorphic Complex (MMC) with metamorphic, granitic intrusions and ophiolite units is situated in the suture zone of Paleotethys in NE Iran. Triassic staurolite-garnet schist of Khalaj represents the highest grade of metamorphism in MMC. In this study EPMA analyses of garnet and biotite used to determine the maximum temperature for regional metamorphism. The pattern of zoning in garnet...
