 note = {P(論文), The Christmas Point area is dominated by well-layered gneisses, of which garnet-orthopyroxene gneiss and garnet felsic gneiss are the most abundant types. Orthopyroxene-bearing quartz-rich granulite, layering of which is indistinct to massive, is present as layers within the garnet felsic gneiss. Garnet-amphibole gneiss is present as layers in both the garnet-orthopyroxene gneiss and the garnet felsic gneiss. Orthopyroxene-bearing quartz-rich granulites contain coexisting orthopyroxene, sillimanite and quartz. The occurrence of sapphirine as inclusions in sillimanite implies that metamorphic conditions changed from the stability field of sapphirine+quartz to that of orthopyroxene+sillimanite+quartz. P-T conditions estimated using garnet-orthopyroxene geothermobarometry range from 920 to 1040℃ and 8.8 to 11.5 kbar. Garnet exsolution lamellae present in orthopyroxene from the garnet-orthopyroxene gneiss suggest that a precursor aluminous orthopyroxene was present during the ultrahigh-temperature stage. For the retrograde event, although chemical zoning of major element composition of garnet developed during cooling and reflects high-temperature diffusion, compositional zoning of more slowly diffusing elements, such as Ca, show a complicated pattern caused by partial resorbtion and overgrowth. Garnet rims in all rock types are intergrown with quartz and have relatively high grossular composition. Plagioclase in the garnet-orthopyroxene gneiss and garnet felsic gneiss show reverse zoning. Garnet-amphibole gneiss contains two amphiboles (gedrite and cummingtonite) with different fluorine contents; gedrite occurs as finely crystalline overgrowths surrounding cummingtonite, implying that the retrograde process after peak (ultrahigh-temperature) metamorphism was not simple cooling.},
