Palaeoproterozoic A-type felsic magmatism in the Khetri Copper Belt, Rajasthan, northwestern India: petrologic and tectonic implications
A number of small Palaeoproterozoic granitoid plutons were emplaced in the Khetri Copper Belt, which is an important Proterozoic metallogenic terrane in the northeastern part of Aravalli mountain range. Contig...

Contact metamorphism and metasomatism at a dolerite-limestone contact in the Gebel Yelleq area, Northern Sinai, Egypt
At the northeastern flank of Gebel Yelleq, northern Sinai, pure limestones of Upper Cretaceous age were subjected to a thermal overprint, caused by a c. 80 m thick Tertiary olivine dolerite sill. Metasomatic supp...

Phase relations of calc-silicate assemblagesin the Auerbach marble, OdenwaldCrystalline Complex, Germany
In the Odenwald Crystalline Complex, calc-silicate rocks are concentrated at the margins of the marble layer of Auerbach. They were presumably formed by metasomatic exchange between the calcite marble and the...

Oxide–sulphide relationships in sodalite-bearing metasomatites of the Epembe–Swartbooisdrif Alkaline Province, north-west Namibia
The south-eastern part of Kunene Intrusive Complex (KIC), Namibia/Angola, is host to volumetrically significant, and economically important, concentrations of sodalite in the area around Swartbooisdrif, north...

Simultaneous horst-basin formation and magmatism during Late Variscan transtension: evidence from 40Ar/39Ar and 207Pb/206Pb geochronology in the Ruhla Crystalline Complex
Ar/39Ar–mica and 207Pb/206Pb–zircon dates are presented and combined with existing P–T data and the sedimentary record. These data indicate that the RCC was faulted into three segments which underwent different e...

Phase relations of calcic amphibole–orthoamphibole–chlorite- talc assemblages, with applications to ultramafic rocks from the KTB pilot hole, Bavaria
Lenses of ultramafic rocks intercalated within a metagabbro–amphibolite sequence were encountered in the KTB pilot hole. A pervasive metamorphic overprint formed the dominating assemblage calcic amphibole–ort...

Post-peak re-equilibration in a mafic gneiss from the KTB main hole: implications for the metamorphic evolution
Detailed microprobe investigations were carried out on mineral phases of a mafic garnet–biotite–hornblende and garnet–biotite gneiss from the KTB main hole. The results indicate that the complex zonation patt...

Orthogneisses in the Spessart Crystalline Complex, north-west Bavaria: Silurian granitoid magmatism at an active continental margin
The Spessart Crystalline Complex, north-west Bavaria contains two orthogneiss units of granitic to granodioritic composition, known as the Rotgneiss and Haibach gneiss, respectively, which are structurally con...

Talc-chlorite-amphibole felses of the KTB pilot hole, Oberpfalz, Bavaria: Protolith characteristics and phase relationships
The metagabbro-amphibolite sequences in the KTB pilot hole contain intercalations of talc-chlorite-amphibole felses (or “hosbachites”), which show transitional contacts to the adjacent metagabbros. The hosbach...

Chapter
Igneous Activity (Pre- to Early Variscan Magmatism)
The metamorphic sequences constituting the MGCR frequently contain intercalations of metabasites. Judging from structural and textural relics, from rarely preserved magmatic minerals and from geochemical const...

Chapter
Stratigraphy, Structure, and Igneous Activity
As laid out in Chapters V.B.1 and V.B.2, the parautochthonous Thuringian fades of the Saxothuringian Belt has been overthrust from the SE by nappes, which have survived in the core of the Vogtland Synform. The...

Chapter
Metamorphic Evolution
During the Variscan orogenesis, most of the complexes forming constituents of the MGCR, were subjected to regional metamorphism under conditions generally ranging from the lower to the upper amphibolite facies...

Sulphide mineralogy, metamorphism and deformation in the Matchless massive sulphide deposit, Namibia
The sulphide mineralogy of the Matchless massive sulphide deposit has been reviewed and the morphology, mineral chemistry and paragenesis of the opaque minerals described and related to genetic processes. Amph...

Geochemical Characteristics of Metabasites in Different Tectonic Units of the Northeast Bavarian Crystalline Basement
Comprehensive geochemical investigations of metabasites yielded constraints for a correlation of, or discrimination between the different tectonic units within the northeast Bavarian crystalline basement.

Paragenesis and petrogenesis of a corundum-bearing marble at Hunza (Kashmir)
A calcite-marble containing gem-quality ruby is exposed in the Hunza Valley, northwestern part of the Karakoram mountains, Pakistan zone of Kashmir. The marble forms concordant intercalations within sillimanit...
