DOI: 10.1016/j.lithos.2020.105954
Abstract: Abstract Kyanite eclogites can provide insights into global orogenic processes within subduction-collision zones. Here we present an integrated study of the petrography, mineral chemistry, zircon U-Pb geochronology, and whole-rock geochemistry of granulitized kyanite eclogites from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/petrology/egy086
Abstract: The South Altyn Tagh continental high-pressure–ultra-high-pressure (HP–UHP) metamorphic belt in West China is claimed to host the most deeply subducted (>300 km) part of Earth’s continental crust, based on the presence of pseudomorphs and paramorphs… read more here.
