| Definitionskos:definition | Protolith structures almost always obliterated, evidence of partial melting common. Includes rocks metamorphosed in high-temperature amphibolite, pyroxene hornfels, and medium to high-temperature eclogite facies. Mineral assemblages according to Fry (1984) Table 10-1: ultramafic-olivine, anthophyllite, cummingtonite, enstatite, mafic-hornblende, (diopside, garnet), calc-aluminous basic-plagioclase, pelite, semi-pelite -- K-feldspar, biotite, quartz, Al-minerals (garnet), migmatite. |
