“…Almost all of these studies have focused on UHP metamorphic processes, while only a few studies have focused on the thermal evolution of the Dabie-Sulu UHP terrane. Trace elemental zoning of garnet, apatite and omphacite as well as Ti-in-zircon geothermometers of some eclogites from the main hole of the Chinese Continental Scientific Drilling Project (CCSD-MH) recorded a shortlived heating event during exhumation of the terrane Zong et al, 2007). This is consistent with the overprinting of granulite-facies metamorphism on some eclogites in the Sulu UHP terrane (Banno et al, 2000;Nakamura and Hirajima, 2000;Wang et al, 1993;Yao et al, 2000), which has generally been attributed to high temperatures that prevailed during exhumation over a very short time scale (e.g., the Moldanubian Zone) (O'Brien, 1997;O'Brien and Vrána, 1995).…”
