PRECURSOR AND RHEOLOGY OF VARISCAN GRANULITES 113Fig. 8. P–T pseudosection calculated in THERMOCALC s<strong>of</strong>tware for a felsic granulite sample H296-S1. The indicated P–T path reflectscoarse-grained alkali feldspar growth at peak conditions followed by decompression during S2 fabric development.estimations, because recent models use significantextrapolations from relatively low pressure <strong>and</strong> temperaturewith respect to the conditions <strong>of</strong> formation <strong>of</strong>the ternary feldspar <strong>of</strong> interest (see discussion inSˇtípska´ & Powell, 2005). The lack <strong>of</strong> a clear differencebetween the chemistry <strong>of</strong> biotite inclusions <strong>and</strong> matrixbiotite in the other studied thin sections is interpretedas being due to partial chemical re-equilibration ondecompression, even within perthite porphyroclasts.A decrease in X Fe to 0.68 at some garnet rims in theother studied thin sections (Fig. 7b) may be explainedby further decompression in liquid-absent conditionswhere x(g) decreases, or by heating. Plagioclase coronasaround kyanite reflect decompression (Tajcˇmanova´et al., 2007; Sˇtípska´ et al., 2010).In summary, the peak P–T conditions 1.6)1.8 GPa<strong>and</strong> 850)880 °C are inferred for the stage when alkalifeldspar porphyroclasts were stable with garnet, kyanite,biotite, rutile, plagioclase <strong>and</strong> quartz, presumablywithin the S1 layering.
