Abstract

Development of garnet coronas in a small meta-mafite body, forming a tilted dome within the parametamorphics, is reported and the petrography of the coronites is described. Garent coronation marks a stage in the metamorphic and textural evolution of the rocks. The origin of coronas and related features is discussed.
