![Le métamorphisme barrovien MI dans le massif du Canigou. – 2A. Position des isogrades MI dans la pile lithotectonique selon que le disthène apparaît avant la staurotide (hypothèse 1, retenue) ou après (hypothèse 2, non retenue). – 2B. Chemins P-T-D de MI/D1 à MIIa/D2a dans le massif du Canigou. Le caractère prograde de MII implique une forte baisse de température entre MI et MII, en plus de la baisse de pression, et donc un chemin antihoraire entre MI et MII.
Fig. 2. – The mediumpressure (Barrovian) MI metamorphism in the Canigou massif. – 2A. Location of the MI isograds in the lithotectonic pile, depending on whether kyanite appears before staurolite (hypothesis 1, accepted) or after (hypothesis 2, rejected). – 2B. P-T-D paths from MI/D1 to MIIa/D2a. The prograde characteristic of MII implies a large decrease in temperature between MI and MII, in addition to the pressure drop, hence the anticlokwise loop from MI to MII.]()
