The high-pressure granulites from the Bìstvina body contain a mineral association garnet-kyanite-biotite-plagioclase-K-feldspar-quartz ± antiperthite. Based on petrology, as well as major-and trace-element whole-rock geochemistry, the studied eight samples can be subdivided into four types: (1) metamorphosed greywacke, (2) felsic granulite with a low CaO/Na 2 O and K 2 O/Na 2 O ratio (type I), (3) felsic granulite of leucogranitic composition (type II), and (4) kyanite-garnet-biotite migmatitic gneiss. These rocks are associated with minor garnet peridotite and a crustal eclogite with a prograde metamorphic record, as described in the literature. Garnet in the quartz-feldspathic rocks typically contains 2435 mol. % Prp and 514 mol. % Grs components with Ca zoning across grains. Using compositions of garnet cores and the associated plagioclase and biotite, the geothermobarometric calculations prove the equilibration under eclogite facies conditions (P = 1.8 2.2 GPa and T = 800920 °C). Two of the samples important for thermobarometry (felsic granulites type I and II) are free of antiperthite. The associated Ky-Grt-Bt migmatitic gneiss recording conditions near 1.4 GPa and 670 °C may represent a foreign component in the Bìstvina granulite body. Although one meta-greywacke sample shows incipient replacement of garnet by biotite + plagioclase, the other samples are free of a decompression recrystallization record. Thus the granulites of the Bìstvina body stand in sharp contrast to the better known granulites in the Moldanubian Zone, by their lack of evidence for an extensive decompression recrystallization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
