The eclogites are essentially bimeneralic assemblages of garnet and clinopyroxene. Thirteen xenoliths contain accessory diamond with graphite on diamond surfaces. One has accessory ilmenite. The rocks are well equilibrated and are classified as Group 1 eclogites, based on their mineral textures and compositions. The calculated equilibrium temperatures for the eclogites range from 1157 °C to 1245 °C, assuming a pressure of 50 kbar. Two populations of eclogites are defined in terms of the calcium content of the garnet, equilibration temperatures and trace element abundances. 2014-07-30T17:26:26Z 2014-07-30T17:26:26Z 2000 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/4205 eng application/pdf Department of Geological Sciences Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
