“…Oriented rutile (±ilmenite) needles are commonly found as inclusions in garnet within rocks from high or extreme pressure and/or temperature environments. They are present, for example, in rocks from many high‐pressure (HP) and ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) localities, including the Western Gneiss Region (Larsen et al ., ), the Dabie‐Sulu terrane (Zhang & Liou, ; Ye et al ., ; Zhang & Liou, ; Malaspina et al ., ), the Saxonian Erzgebirge (Massonne, ; Hwang et al ., ), the Greek Rhodope (Mposkos & Kostopoulos, ), the Bohemian Massif (O'Brien & Rötzler, ; Hwang et al ., ; Vrana, ), the diamondiferous granulite of Cueta, Betic‐Rif cordillera, Spain (Ruiz‐Cruz & De Galdeano, ), the Kokchetav Massif (Shen et al ., ), the Ngoc Linh Complex (Osanai et al ., ) and the Palghat–Cauvery suture zone (Sajeev et al ., ). Furthermore, oriented rutile needles are found in garnet of ultrahigh‐temperature (UHT; >900 °C) granulites and high‐ P granulites, including the Central Maine terrane (CMT) of northeastern Connecticut (CT; Ague & Eckert, ), the Snowbird tectonic zone (Snoeyenbos et al ., ), the Gory Sowie Massif (O'Brien et al ., ), the Central Schwarzwald Gneiss Complex (Marschall et al ., ) and the Tuguiwula Khondalite Belt (Liu et al ., ).…”
