“…As they are ‘pretectonic or early syntectonic’ with respect to cleavage (Seccombe & Hicks 1989 p. 261; Windh 1995 figure 6D), they must pre‐date the regional metamorphism, which should post‐date (Packham 1999) or perhaps syn‐date the main deformation. Thus we find no basis for assigning the early 420°C event to metamorphism. (2) Peak pressure The 2.9 kb pressure estimate (290 MPa or ∼11 km burial: Packham 1999) that Seccombe and Hicks (1989) and Lu and Seccombe (1993) linked to the 420°C temperature was based on ‘metamorphic white mica’ from the host rocks (Lu & Seccombe 1993 p. 311) rather than on muscovite from the veins. It therefore relates to the metamorphism.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
