| Abstract | AbstractThe eclogite on Hareidland, western Norway, is among the largest eclogite bodies yet described. It occurs as a sheet-like body folded together with the surrounding metasedimentary gneisses of the basal gneiss complex of western Norway. The maximum surface extension of the body is about 6 km with the width varying between 0.2 and 1.5 km.Relations between bulk chemical variation and mineralogical variation suggest that the mafic rock now found as eclogite probably crystallized as a gabbroic rock. Field and mineralogical evidence suggests simultaneous later metamorphism of the gabbro and the surrounding gneisses at a temperature and load pressure near 625±30°C and 14 kb. The temperature estimate is based on a “thermometer” which uses the distribution coefficient, $${\text{K}}_{{\text{ga}} - {\text{cpx}}}^{{\text{Fe}}^{{\text{2 + }}} - {\text{Mg}}}$$ .Whole rock Rb-Sr dating indicates about 1700 m.y. as the age of the metamorphism of the gneisses and therefore also the age of the eclogite. The Sr87/Sr86-ratios of a few biotite and amphibole-rich samples suggest a later partial Rb-Sr homogenization (Caledonian?) of the gneisses on Hareidland. |
