| Abstract: | The progressive thermal metamorphism of Dalradian phyllitesadjacent to a Tertiary basic plug is traced petrographicallyfrom the initial stages of breakdown of micaceous minerals tothe eventual development, in places near the contact, of rheomorphicmaterial of granitic composition and complementary highly desilicatedferromagnesian residues. Chemical analyses of unmetamorphosedand thermally metamorphosed country rock, granophyres, and desilicatedresidues, are used to illustrate the chemistry of these metamorphicprocesses and to suggest approximate temperature-pressure conditionsunder which they took place. The petrological significance ofthe emery-like residues is discussed briefly. |
