A metamorphic facies is a set of mineral assemblages in metamorphic rocks formed under similar pressures and temperatures. [1] The assemblage is typical of what is formed in conditions corresponding to an area on the two dimensional graph of temperature vs. pressure (See diagram in Figure 1). [1]
However, Buchan facies series plot along line 3 and Barrovian at somewhat higher pressure and with the appearance of kyanite. The facies series have connections to plate tectonics. Facies series 1 is typical of contact metamorphism, but also found in regional metamorphosed rocks. Facies series 2 correlates with volcanic arc environments, and so ...
In metamorphic geology, a compatibility diagram shows how the mineral assemblage of a metamorphic rock in thermodynamic equilibrium varies with composition at a fixed temperature and pressure. Compatibility diagrams provide an excellent way to analyze how variations in the rock's composition affect the mineral paragenesis that develops in a ...
Metamorphic facies is a classification system first introduced by Pentti Eskola in 1920 to classify particular metamorphic mineral assemblages that are stable under a range of P-T conditions. [ 54 ] [ 55 ] [ 1 ] Before the mid-1970s, geologists utilized the metamorphic facies classification to investigate metamorphic rocks and determined their ...
Diagram (modified from Fig 3.11 in Irwin, 1990) showing the depositional setting of the Franciscan Assemblage and the contemporaneous Great Valley Sequence,. [ 5 ] The Franciscan Complex is an assemblage of metamorphosed and deformed rocks, associated with east-dipping subduction zone at the western coast of North America. [ 6 ]

Figure 1. Petrogenetic grid for metapelites (several authors). [1] [2] Metamorphic facies included are: BS = Blueschist facies, EC = Eclogite facies, PP = Prehnite-Pumpellyite facies, GS = Granulite facies, EA = Epidote-Amphibolite facies, AM = Amphibolite facies, GRA = Granulite facies, UHT = Ultra-High Temperature facies, HAE = Hornfels-Albite-Epidote facies, Hbl = Hornblende-Hornfels facies ...
