The formation of atoll garnet in the Ardara aureole, NW Ireland, is discussedusing the textural, chemical and Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) data.Textural evidence suggests the possibility of incipient of garnet replacement fromthe core...

The relations of fibrolite-biotite is discussed by presenting data from the Ardara aureole, NW Ireland. Biotite-fibrolite intergrowths are developed in all three aureole zones including: the outer kyanite-bearing andalusite zone, the middle kyanite...

Abstract: Different models are discussed to interpret the presence of kyanite as a stable phase in contact aureoles especially in the andalusite-, sillimanite-bearing aureoles. In such aureoles the polymorphic sequence kyanite...

The formation of atoll garnet in hornblende schists from the contact aureole of Mashhad granite, NE Iran, is discussed using the textural and chemical data. These data suggest the possibility of incipient of pre-existing idioblastic garnet...

Abstract – Andalusite, kyanite and sillimanite occur in well-defined zones in the Ardara aureole, NW Ireland. Temperature and pressure conditions of the Al2SiO5-bearing pelites in this aureole were estimated using ten different calibrations...
