Pre-Alpine high-pressure metamorphism in the Gemer unit: mineral textures and their geodynamic implications for Variscan Orogeny in the Western Carpathians
We report mineral textures of retrogressed eclogites from the gneiss–amphibolite complex, which is represented by a series of isolated bodies that were thrusted over the greenschist-facies Rakovec group in the...

Two-stage garnet growth in coesite eclogite from the southeastern Papua New Guinea (U)HP terrane and its geodynamic significance
Mineral compositions and textures of Late Miocene coesite eclogite from Tomagabuna Island were investigated to constrain P–T conditions during UHP metamorphism and subsequent exhumation. Two stages of garnet grow...

High-pressure crystallization vs. recrystallization origin of garnet pyroxenite-eclogite within subduction related lithologies
Mafic layers displaying transition between clinopyroxenite and eclogite within peridotite from felsic granulite in the Bohemian Massif (Lower Austria) have been investigated. The mafic–ultramafic bodies shared...

P–T evolution and reaction textures in retrogressed eclogites from Svetlik, the Moldanubian Zone (Czech Republic)
Lenses and pods of mafic rocks from the Monotonous Unit near Svetlik are characterized by eclogite facies mineral assemblages; however some inclusion patterns (oriented quartz rods in clinopyroxene and cuboids...

P–T gradient of Eo-Alpine metamorphism within the Austroalpine basement units east of the Tauern Window (Austria)
¶A petrological study has been undertaken in the Austroalpine basement units, along a SSE-NNW profile across the northern parts of the Saualpe Complex in the Seetal Alps, the Micaschist-Marble Complex (Rappold...

Relics of eclogite facies metamorphism in the Austroalpine basement, Hochgrössen (Speik complex), Austria
Retrograde eclogites and serpentinites from the Hochgrössen massif, Styria, are parts of the Speik complex in the Austroalpine basement nappes of the Eastern Alps. They are in tectonic contact with pre-Alpine...
