Five geobarometers involving cordierite have been formulated for quantitative pressure sensing in high grade metapelites. The relevant reactions in the FeO-Al2O3-SiO2 (±H2O) system are based on the assemblages (A) cordierite-garnet-sillimanite-quartz, (B) cordierite-spinel-quartz, (C) cordierite-garnet-spinel-sillimanite, (D) cordierite-garnet-orthopyroxene-quartz and (E) cordierite-orthopyroxene-sillimanite-quartz. Application of the barometric formulations to a large number of granulite grade rocks indicates that the cordierite-garnet-sillimanite-quartz equilibrium is widely applicable and registers pressures which are in good agreement with the “consensus” pressure estimates. The dispersion in the computed P values, expressed as one standard deviation, is within ±1.2 kbar. The geobarometers (B) and (C) also yield pressures which are reasonable and compare well with those computed from equilibrium (A). The estimated pressures from (D) and (E), both involving orthopyroxene, are at variance with these estimates. It has been argued that the discrepancy in pressures obtained from these geobarometers stems from an inadequate knowledge of activity-composition relations and/or errors in input thermodynamic data of aluminous orthopyroxene. The convergence of pressure values estimated from the barometric formulations, especially (A), (B) and (C), implies that the present formulations are more dependable than the existing formulations and are also capable of setting limits on P values in response to varying $$\begin{gathered} {\text{1/2Fe}}_{\text{2}} {\text{Al}}_{\text{4}} {\text{Si}}_{\text{5}} {\text{O}}_{{\text{18}}} \hfill \\ {\text{ = 1/3Fe}}_{\text{3}} {\text{Al}}_{\text{2}} {\text{Si}}_{\text{3}} {\text{O}}_{{\text{12}}} {\text{ + 2/3Al}}_{\text{2}} {\text{SiO}}_{\text{5}} {\text{ + 5/6SiO}}_{\text{2}} {\text{.

Three independent Pb isotope homogenizing processes operating on large volumes of rock material during limited intervals in the Phanerozoic have been used to define a unique evolutionary curve for rock and ore lead isotopic compositions of the southern Massif Central, France. The model is

Titanite and rutile are a common mineral pair in eclogites, and many equilibria involving these phases are potentially useful in estimating pressures of metamorphism. We have reversed one such reaction,
