Abstract: | In western Crete, Greece, a widespread occurrence of chloritoid-bearing metapelites with the main mineral assemblage chloritoid-phengitic white mica-Fe-rich chlorite-quartz was recorded to form the country rock of glaucophane-bearing metabasalts. Six bulk rock analyses of the metapelites conform to the compositional restrictions evaluated by Hoschek (1967) for the formation of chloritoid. Three microprobe analyses revealed chloritoid compositions low in Mg and Mn, and, consequently, high in Fe. The metamorphic grade documented in the metapelites is obviously related to a subsequent prograde metamorphism by which, in the adjacent meta-basalts, epidote is formed at the expense of lawsonite. No relict of a high-P, low-T assemblage, in part well preserved in the meta-basalts, was recognized in the chloritoid schists. The significance of the metamorphic history is briefly discussed. |
