Discovery and study of high-pressure basic granulites in Songshugou area of Shangnan, East Qinling

1 Geological occurrence The ultramafic rocks in the Songshugou area of the North Qinling are structurally emplaced in middle-late Proterozoic amphibolites (fig. 1) which are regarded as an external rootless ophiolite sheet with emplacement age of (983±140) Ma. The lenticular diopsidegarnet-amphibolites, named garnet-amphibolte by others, are exposed in the amphibolits. The high-pressure basic granulites discussed in this note were found in the lenticular garnet-
