Phase equilibrium constraints on conditions of granulite facies metamorphism at Scourie, NW Scotland

The metamorphic evolution of a metapyroxenite and metagabbro from Scourie, NW Scotland, is investigated using phase equilibria modelled in the NCFMASHTO (Na2O–CaO–FeO–MgO–Al2O3–SiO2–H2O–TiO2–O) system. The calculated stability fields for the observed assemblages in each rock overlap and imply condit...
