“…Regional metamorphism of the Glen Roy rocks was probably due to the Grampian Event, c. 480 Ma, in the early phase of the Caledonian Orogeny (Dempster et al, 2002;Oliver, Chen, Buchwaldt, & Hegner, 2000), although the extent of earlier Precambrian metamorphism in the Dalradian block is uncertain (Dempster & Jess, 2015). Previous studies have documented the structural evolution of the area and the timing of porphyroblast growth relative to these deformation phases (Phillips & Key, 1992;Phillips et al, 1994). Peak metamorphic conditions are estimated at 500-600°C, 0.7-0.8 GPa (Phillips et al, 1994;Richardson & Powell, 1976), and the lack of staurolite in these rocks is attributed to the scarcity of primary chlorite (Phillips et al, 1994).…”
