Metamorphic rock is the result of the transformation of a pre-existing rock type, the protolith, in a process called metamorphism, which means "change in form". The protolith is subjected to heat ...

Metamorphic sapphire deposits, such as those in Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Kashmir, and India/Pakistan, appear to require the involvement of metasomatic fluids infiltrating aluminum-rich protolith rocks ...

This texture is a result of the recrystallization process during metamorphism, where new mineral grains grow at the expense of the original minerals in the protolith. Lack of Foliations ...

This process, known as metamorphism, alters the original carbonate mineral grains of the protolith (original rock), leading to the recrystallization of calcite or dolomite.

Barrovian metamorphism is distinguished by a high vertical temperature gradient that, when extrapolated, yields temperatures of 800°C to 850°C at the base of 35-kilometer-thick crust—nearly ...

One of the best ways to learn how to work with shear zones and metamorphism is to study real-world examples from different regions and settings. You can find many published papers, reports, maps ...

However, the exception for the garnet–phengite schist and garnet–amphibole schist in the Ondor Sum Group are probably due to the lack of fluid during the metamorphism as indicated above. 6.2 Ages of ...
