摘要
In E Connemara, Ireland, Dalradian metasediments were initially metamorphosed to kyanite-staurolite grade at pressures above 7 kbar. The subsequent emplacement of basic to intermediate magmas, accompanied by uplift and erosion, produce a steepening of the geothermal gradient and led to the formation of migmatitic garnet-cordierite-sillimanitegneisses in the highest grade regions in the S. Cation exchange equilibria between coexisting mineral pairs suggest that partial melting took place under high temperatures (=750°C) and moderate pressures (4.5-6 kbar). Fluid inclusion studies and andalusite occurrences from migmatite leucosomes suggest that crystallization of the melts occurred at lower pressures (
