Time (years) a er intrusion<br />
Figure 4.6. Maximum metamorphic temperature with orthogonal distance from<br />
the contact. A) Isograd positions are located from colored points. Cordierite,<br />
garnet, and biotite could form at the observed maximum temperatures, but the<br />
conductive model cannot explain the formation <strong>of</strong> metamorphic pyroxene. B) A<br />
comparison between the apparent thickness <strong>of</strong> metamorphic zones (solid line)<br />
and the thickness <strong>of</strong> zones if the intrusive contact is dipping at 45 degrees<br />
(dashed lines). If the observed contact is oblique, the metamorphic aureole would<br />
be skinnier.<br />
