Abstract
Pyropic garnetite from the Podolsko Complex, south Bohemian
Moldanubian Zone, Bohemian Massif, records very-high pressure
(28kbar, 830 deg.C)conditions of formation of the initial
mineral assemblage. As such it represents the first evidence
for very-high pressure metamorphism of continental crustal
material in the Moldanubian Zone of the Bohemian Massif. This
assemblage was extensively overprinted by complex symplectites,
formed during a subsequent medium-pressure high-temperature
event.
