The chemical composition of the following minerals have been studied by electron microprobe: garnet, biotite, staurolite, white mica, chlorite, plagioclase. The metamorphic grade is of lower amphibolite facies. The P-T estimate for a staurolite - garnet - white mica - biotite - chlorite - plagioclase schist is T = 6160 C, σ (T) = 21 and P = 7,8 kbar, σ (P) = 1.3.Read More
