Exhumation history of eclogites from the Tso-Morari Crystalline Complex inEastern Ladakh: Mineralogical fluid inclusion constraints

Eclogites from the Tso-Morari Crystalline Complex in Ladakh, India, preserv e evidence for high P, low T metamorphism of subducted Indian continental c rust in the presence of a moderate salinity aqueous fluid phase. The phengi te barometry estimates a pressure range of 11-14 kbar for eclogitization wh ereas garnet-omphacite geothermometry reveals a temperature range of 530 de grees-580 degrees C. Following eclogitization at 530 degrees-580 degrees C at a minimum pressure of 14 kbar, the eclogites were tectonically exhumed a long a nearly isothermal P-T path that brought them to within 10-30 kilomet ers of the surface. Final transport to the surface followed a more normal c ontinental geotherm.
