Abstract

Diopside-skarns, epidote-skarns, and garnet-skarns together with very coarse amphibole-rocks are produced at the contact of limestone and epidiorite by diffusion of trondhjemitic material along the contact. The amphibole-rocks are unusual types, for the formation which material may have been drawn from the epidiorite side the contact.
