· The Main Donegal Granite, intruded into Dalradian metasediments a n d metadolerites under conditions that combined high temperature and strong directed pressure, has produced a wide aureole of contact schists that are like many regionally metamorphosed rocks. The aureole rocks were primarily of low metamorphic grade and, towards the granite contact, intense new …

Hydrogrossular Hornfels The first mention of contact metamorphic phenomena dates back to the end of eighteenth century when James Hutton observed that, the rocks surrounding a granitic body at Glen Tilt (Perthshire, Scotland) had suffered marked changes in either colour or structure especially in zones crossed by granitic veins.

 · This crystallization sequence conflicts with the observation that kyanite‐quartz veins post‐date andalusite–sillimanite veins and at least one intrusive phase of a granite that produced a low‐pressure–high‐temperature contact aureole; these relationships imply a sequence of andalusite to sillimanite to kyanite.

 · abundance of aluminous minerals, like clay minerals, micas, kyanite, sillimanite, andalusite, and garnet. zQuartzo-Feldspathic. Rocks that originally contained mostly quartz and feldspar like granitic rocks and arkosic sandstones will also contain an abundance of quartz and

 · Atoll garnets occur throughout the Ardara aureole in the outer kyanite-bearing andalusite zone, the middle kyanite-free andalusite zone and the inner sillimanite zone, (Fig. 1). Out of 68 garnet-bearing samples collected from the Ardara aureole only seven lack atoll forms. Smellie [22], considered that atoll forms in the

 · Zone 2 perhaps produced some of the most unusual textures within the aureole. In hand specimen many blue kyanite crystals have pink andalusite cores. The andalusite pseudomorphs kyanite in this way because it requires less energy than nucleating a new crystal; however, within this zone temperatures were not high

A type locality for contact metamorphism in pelitic rocks is the contact aureole surrounding the Ballachulish Granite, western Scotland (cf. Pattison, 1992). Additionally, unlike in

Fine-grained quartz, which forms 70 to 85 vol.% of these rocks, …

Geological setting. The granitic intrusion occurs near Bibiani in the Western Region of Ghana (Lobjoit, in press). The country rocks belong to the Birrimian System (Precambrian) and consist of geosynelinal sediments metamorphosed in the greenschist facies. The regional structural pattern is that of isoelinal folding and the strike of the near-vertical beds is NNE.-SSW. These rocks …

 · Instead, the heat and hydrothermal fluids from the crystallizing magma produced a 600+ meter wide contact metamorphic and metasomatic aureole. Therefore, the abundant Po radiohalos presently observed in samples of the granite could not have been generated by primordial Po, because the hydrothermal fluids also helped form orthoclase feldspar ...
