Archaean Intracrustal Differentiation from Partial Melting of Metagabbro-Field and Geochemical Evidence from the Central Region of the Lewisian Complex, NW Scotland

Archaean Intracrustal Differentiation from Partial Melting of Metagabbro-Field and Geochemical Evidence from the Central Region of the Lewisian Complex, NW Scotland

The central region of the mainland Lewisian gneiss complex of NW Scotland is a granulite-facies migmatite terrane. With the exception of ultramafic and rare calc-silicate rocks, all other lithologies partially melted during Neoarchaean, ultrahigh-temperature (Badcallian) metamorphism. The clearest e...
