“…At pressures less than about 12-13 kbar, garnet became unstable and began to react with the melt to form plagioclase and a more calcic garnet rim. Garnet is preserved (Hearn and McGee, 1983); asterisk, amphibolite inclusion from latite flows in Chino Valley, Ariz. (Arculus and Smith, 1979); upright triangles, Ecuador eclogite (Feininger, 1980); squares, Oregon eclogite (Ghent and Coleman, 1973); diamonds, Western Alps eclogite (Ernst and Dal Piaz, 1978). Open symbols represent garnet compositions produced in experimental studies; circles, 18-26 kbar data on andesitic and basaltic compositions (Allen and Boettcher, 1978;Allen and others, 1975); squares, 30 kbar data for tonalitic compositions (Stern and Wyllie, 1973); the arrow with temperature ticks represents Stern and Wyllie's calculated trend of garnet compositions at 30 kbar.…”
