Description
Summary:[EN] In the Sierra de Maz (Argentina) high-grade gneisses occurs with an uncommon mineralogical composition: orthoamphibole + garnet, without cordierite. These rocks underwent two superimposed metamorphic events: M1, under granulite facies conditions, Grenvillian (ca. 1.2 Ga), and M2, under amphibolites facies conditions, Famatinian (ca. 460 Ma). Pressure and temperature of the latter event have been calculated by isopleth intersection on a P-T pseudosection in the system NCKFMASH. Resulting values were ca. 675 ºC and 9.4 kbar. Moreover pseudosection modelling shows that cordierite is restricted to lower P conditions. This is the first case that this type of paragenesis is modelled with modern thermobarometry techniques.
