Basic hornfels at a gabbro contact near Carlingford, Eire
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Abstract
Thermal metamorphism of Silurian sediments at a gabbro contact took place under pyroxene-hornfels facies conditions. The most common hornfels is essentially composed of pyroxene and labradorite; its chemical composition compares with that of average gabbro. The hornfels is believed to have been metasomatically altered, probably basified, during metamorphism.
