“…This large contrast in peak metamorphic conditions (≈2.5 GPa) suggests a significant structural decoupling at the base of the coesitebearing unit. Fission track dates on Unit I indicates that they were already at shallow crustal levels by $29.9 Ma [Gebauer et al, 1997]. This implies a very rapid exhumation rate, a feature common to most UHP massifs [e.g., Ernst et al, 1997].…”

“…It presents external and internal features useful for its characterization [3][4][5]. It can incorporate fluid/melt (e.g., vapor bubbles, and glass) [6,7] and other minerals (e.g., biotite, quartz, feldspar, magnesian calcite, uraninite, apatite, galena, garnet, diamond, monazite, coesite, and omphacite) in their structure during crystal growth [5,[8][9][10]. Zircon is the most widely used mineral for the extraction of information on the pre-history and genesis of magmatic, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks [5,11].…”

“…Such cor ol lary is en tirely in com pat i ble with the lo cal ge ol ogy and other re sults of iso to pic stud ies. Con versely, all these fea tures can also de velop dur ing var i ous stages of crystallisation from a lo cally de rived melt (migmatitic) or hot super criti cal flu ids (in this case U-rich) in ter act ing with the rock at the peak or high-grade meta mor phic con di tions, usu ally in the pres ence of an ac tive aque ous phase (see Gebauer et al, 1997;Corfu et al, 2003;Geisler et al, 2007).
