...GISELLA REBAY; DAVIDE ZANONI; ANTONIO LANGONE; PIETRO LUONI; MASSIMO TIEPOLO; MARIA IOLE SPALLA Abstract The Zermatt-Saas Zone was part of the Middle to Late Jurassic Tethyan lithosphere that underwent oceanic metamorphism during Mesozoic time and subduction during Eocene time (HP to UHP...

...A. C. BARNICOAT; N. FRY Abstract Within the ZermattSaas ophiolite zone of the western Alps a record of polystadial high-pressure metamorphism is well preserved. Early blueschist assemblages, retained as inclusions in garnets, were succeeded by eclogitic assemblages which in some rocks contained...

... serpentinites of the Zermatt-Saas Zone (ZSZ) of the Western Alps allows the recrystallization of such rocks at UHP conditions ( P = 2.8–3.5 GPa, T = 600–670 °C) to be determined. Such conditions are similar to those registered by the nearby Cignana unit, a main Alpine area for UHP metamorphism, where coesite...

...N. FRY; A. C. BARNICOAT Abstract Five mineralogical stages are recognized in the metamorphism of Alpine ophiolites from one area in the ZermattSaas zone. Constraints on P-T values indicate an abrupt change at the metamorphic peak (550–600 °C, 17–20 kbar) from a cold positive slope of 25°C/kbar...
