Abstract

Experimental studies on the osumilite bearing assemblages relevance to Mg-A1 granulites were carried out and simulated certain retrograde reaction textures. Piston-Cylinder runs were conducted in the P-T range of 5 10 Kbars and 700 - 1100°C using bulk representing Al-SI rich portion of KMASH system. The phases obtained in the retrograde runs are low-Corrodorate osumilite, low Al-enstatite and melt. These phases distinctly differ from the high P-T minerals of prograde runs. It iS interesting to note that in retrograde runs the precurson phase phlogopite did not form, instead high temperature osumilite persists along with corroborates and enstatite at conditions as low as 700°C and 10 Kbar. The osumiliteo bearing etrograde reaction textures observed in run products corroborates well with that of Mg-A1 granulites of Eastern Ghat Mobile Belt.
