Abstract: Dehydration melting of muscovite in metasedimentary sequences is the initially dominant mechanism of granitic melt generation in orogenic hinterlands. In dry (vapour‐absent) crust, muscovite reacts with quartz to produce K‐feldspar, sillimanite, and monzogranitic melt. When… read more here.
