Evidence for differences in growth rate among garnets in pelitic schists from northern Sutherland, Scotland

Carol A. Finlay, A. Kerr

Abstract

Abstract MnO zoning profiles for various sizes of garnets from two pelitic schists were examined. The data from garnets of specimen A are consistent with a constant growth law, while the compositional-crystal size relationships of garnets from specimen B are best explained by heterogeneous growth rates.
