The metamorphic series of the Pohorje Mountains represents a part of the Eastern Alpine realm that was subjected to ultrahigh-pressure conditions during the Cretaceous Eo-Alpine orogenic cycle. The Slovenska Bistrica Ultramafic Complex located in the south-eastern Pohorje Mountains is an 8km wide serpentinite body that contains lenses of garnet-bearing ultramafites and eclogites. It is embedded in...
Kyanite eclogites enclosed in garnet peridotites may provide important information on P-T evolution of orogenic peridotites in deep subduction and collision zones. Kyanite eclogite interlayered with garnet peridotite occurs in the borehole T-7, in the Saxothuringian basement of the northern part of the Bohemian Massif. This orogenic peridotite of mantle origin is associated with felsic granulites,...
The first evidence for ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphism in the Seve Nappe Complex of the Scandinavian Caledonides is recorded by kyanite-bearing eclogite, found in a basic dyke within a garnet peridotite body exposed close to the lake Friningen in northern Jämtland (central Sweden). UHP metamorphic conditions of ~3GPa and 800°C, within the stability field of coesite, are constrained from geothermobarometry...
Phase relations among the mineral assemblages of UHP kyanite eclogite were investigated in the Pohorje Mountains of the Eastern Alps. Ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism resulted from intracontinental subduction during the Cretaceous (ca. 92Ma). Kyanite-bearing eclogites are associated with meta-ultramafic rocks including UHP garnet peridotites and are embedded in metapelitic gneisses and micaschists...
The Slovenska Bistrica ultramafic complex (SBUC; Eastern Alps, Slovenia) occupies the south-easternmost part of the Pohorje Mountains, which represent an exhumed piece of continental crust subducted during the Cretaceous Eo-Alpine orogeny. The SBUC is composed of serpentinised harzburgites with local occurrences of garnet lherzolite, and is the only known occurrence of ultramafic rocks within the...
New evidence for high-pressure, eclogite facies metamorphism in the crystalline basement of the Tisza Megaunit (southern Hungary) is reported. The retrogressed mafic eclogite forms a small lens in the orthogneiss and it was found in the borehole near Jánoshalma. The carbonated eclogite contains the peak metamorphic assemblage omphacite+garnet+phengite+kyanite+clinozoizite+rutile+K-feldspar+quartz...
In the granitic rocks of the Western Carpathians, xenotime-(Y) occurs both as a late-stage magmatic mineral, and as a secondary post-magmatic phase. Magmatic xenotime occurs with monazite and displays minor compositional zonation involving Si, Th and U. The source of elements for the formation of secondary xenotime-(Y) in the granitic rocks results from leaching of P and (Y+REE), mainly from zircon...
