1 METAPELITIC REACTIONS AND FACIES

2 Metapelitic Zones

3 Metapelitic Zones and Facies

4 Aluminosilicate Minerals and Metamorphic Facies

5 Greenschist Facies – Chlorite and Biotite Zones

6 Chlorite Zone Assemblage – Lower Greenschist Facies

7 Reaction Controlling the Transition from the Chlorite Zone to the Biotite Zone
(Upper Greenschist Facies)

8 Biotite-in Reaction (2)
Chlorite

9 Compositional Changes in the Biotite Zone
Increasing Grade In principle, chloritoid can form by reaction between chlorite and pyrophyllite but this is rarely observed

10 Chloritoid-in Reaction (3)

11 Garnet Zone (Transitional Between Greenschist and Amphibolite Facies)

12 Garnet-in Reaction (4) Garnet

13 Amphibolite Facies – Staurolite, Kyanite and Sillimanite Zones

14 Staurolite-in Reaction (5)

15 Chloritoid-out Reaction (6)

16 Staurolite-in Reaction (7)

17 Staurolite-out Reaction (10)

18 Granulite Facies A K F Sillimanite + Qtz K-feldspar Muscovite

19 Sillimanite-K-Feldspar-in Reaction (11)
Muscovite + Qtz K F K-feldspar Sill-Kfs

20 Granulite Facies Grt-CrD
