Based on garnet-biotite geothermometry on the stable prograde metamorphic assemblage of enveloping metapelites, peak metamorphic conditions are approximated to be 570°C and 4 kbar (1 kbar = 100 MPa). ... Retrograde hornblende, garnet, zoisite, apatite, carbonate, ferroactinolite, and gold-bearing sulphide minerals replace the prograde mineral assemblages on the margins of quartz veins ... 1, record 1, English, - prograde%20metamorphic%20assemblage

Petrological evidence from these rocks indicates four distinct metamorphic assemblages. The early prograde assemblage ... is preserved only in the high-pressure granulites and represented by quartz and rutile inclusions within the cores of garnet porphyroblasts, and omphacite pseudomorphs ... 3, record 1, English, - prograde%20metamorphic%20assemblage

Les conditions d'apogée métamorphique ont été estimées à 570 °C et 4 kbar (1 kbar = 100 MPa) par une étude géothermométrique du grenat-biotite dans l'assemblage métamorphique, prograde et stable, de l'enveloppe de métapélites. [...] Les minéraux rétrogrades, représentés par hornblende, grenat, zoïsite, apatite, carbonate, ferro-actinote et sulfures aurifères remplacent les assemblages de minéraux progrades des bordures des filons de quartz [...] 1, record 1, French, - assemblage%20m%C3%A9tamorphique%20prograde

Des calculs géothermobarométriques, effectués [...] en utilisant l'assemblage à biotite-cordiérite-spinel-corindon-quartz, donnent des conditions P-T [pression-température] de 810 - 1260 °C et de 7.5 - 14 [...] kbar. Les textures sont difficiles à interpréter en terme de métamorphisme prograde ou rétrograde. 4, record 1, French, - assemblage%20m%C3%A9tamorphique%20prograde
