“…The paragneisses on Stornes Peninsula, Stornesbukta and Seal Cove of Mirror Peninsula contain borosilicate minerals prismatine and grandidierite (Carson et al, 1995b;Cooper et al, 2009;Grew et al, 2006Grew et al, , 2007Ren and Liu, 1994;Ren and Zhao, 2004), and a sapphirine-bearing assemblage was also reported from Stornes Peninsula (Grew et al, 2006Ren et al, 2008;Tong and Liu, 1997). The paragneisses experienced extensive partial melting and migmatization (Dirks et al, 1993), and were considered to represent part of an extensive basinal sedimentary sequence extending about 130 km from the southern Rauer Group to the Bolingen Islands (Carson et al, 1995a(Carson et al, , 1997. The mafic-felsic orthogneisses and paragneisses were generally interpreted as tectonically interleaved Proterozoic basement and sedimentary cover sequence in the region (Carson et al, 1995a;Dirks and Hand, 1995;Dirks et al, 1993;Fitzsimons and Harley, 1991;Sheraton et al, 1984;Stüwe et al, 1989).…”
