Wg. Kang et al., THE DISCOVERY AND GEOLOGICAL FEATURE OF KYANITE-TOPAZITE IN HIGH-PRESSURE BELT FROM CENTRAL CHINA, Science in China. Series B, Chemistry, life sciences & earth sciences, 36(7), 1993, pp. 856-862
For the first time, we find kyanite-topazite which is similar to the w
hite schist from abroad, in Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan of China. Because of
intercontinental obduction and collision. the kyanite-topazite is for
med from the superhigh-pressure metamorphism of sedimentary rock in co
ntinental crust, at the depth of mantle. Kyanite-topazite runs paralle
l to blue schist, eclogite and constitutes the high-pressure metamorph
ic belt in Central China. Its original rocks are a set of sedimentary
rock series which is mainly composed of marginal shallow marine facies
to continental facies pelitic to magnesium carbonatite. both rocks ex
ist in Precambrian Middle-Upper Proterozoic metamorphic strata.
