Rutile occurs as an accessory mineral in many high-temperature metamorphic assemblages and has the potential to identify investigate UHT terranes. Whilst use of Zr-in-rutile geothermometry ultrahigh-temperature terranes is appealing, its application granulites can be difficult owing diffusional resetting Zr concentrations during cooling decompression. In order provide constraints on P-T conditions trace element systematics metamorphism, rutile from Archean Napier Complex Palaeozoic Rauer...
The ability to accurately constrain the secular record of high- and ultra-high pressure metamorphism on Earth is potentially hampered as these rocks are metastable prone retrogression, particularly during exhumation. Rutile among most widespread best preserved minerals in a hitherto untested approach use mineral inclusions within rutile such conditions. In this study, rutiles from three different ultrahigh-pressure massifs have been investigated for inclusions. shown contain high-pressure...
The most significant mass transfer processes at a convergent plate boundary are tectonic accretion and fluids/melts released from sites of generation to accumulation. However, some crucial questions remain with regards the source, timescale, evolution such anatectic processes, for example, single or multistage anatexis deeply subducted continental crust. To better understand involved in anatexis, we have quantified timescale nature formation felsic veins within retrograde eclogite using...
