Preservation of granulite in a partially eclogitized terrane: Metastable phenomena or local pressure variations? [PDF]
Granulite is preserved over large areas of partially eclogitized and hydrated rocks on Holsnøy, Bergen Arcs, Norway. The interfaces between granulite and eclogite are sharp on a hand-specimen scale and contain microstructural and compositional evidence ...

RETROGRESSION OF ORTHOPYROXENE – BEARING CHARNOCKITIC GNEISS AROUND IKERAM-IBARAM AKOKO, SOUTHWESTERN NIGERIA [PDF]
This paper presents the petrography and mineral chemistry of charnockitic gneisses exposed at Ikeram-Ibaram within the Precambrian Basement Complex of southwestern Nigeria. Quartz, plagioclase, perthite, amphibole, biotite and orthopyroxene are essential

Evolution of migmatitic granulite complexes: Implications from Lapland Granulite Belt, Part I: Metamorphic geology [PDF]
The Palaeoproterozoic Lapland granulite belt was juxtaposed between Archaean and Proterozoic terrains in the NE part of the Fennoscandian Shield concurrently with the accretion of Svecofennian arc complexes at ~1.9 Ga.

Fluid-induced metamorphism and anatexis of refractory Ni-Co-Cu sulphides in subduction-related rocks [PDF]
The role of metamorphism on refractory sulfides is not well constrained. Although experiments have displayed the effectiveness of high grade metamorphism, namely granulite facies metamorphism, on sulfide anatexis, its role in the presence of other ...

For the first time in the sixty years since the synthesis of stishovite, we report unambiguous evidence of stishovite formed in the deep Earth. A minimum pressure of about 7.5 GPa at 1000 °C is necessary for the formation of stishovite, corresponding to ...
