Five metamorphic zones from garnet through kyanite, kyanite migmatite, kyanitesillimanite migmatite to K-feldspar-kyanite-sillimanite migmatites are sequentially developed in the metamorphosed low-alumina pelites with increasing structural heights. In the garnet-zone, peak metamorphism is marked by post-D2 garnet growth through biotite+plagioclase→garnet+muscovite reaction. An even earlier phase of syn-D1 garnet growth occurred in the chlorite stability field with or without epidote. 2010-01-01T00:00:00Z
