Abstract

A detailed study of the evolution of the Hidaka Belt, based on a revised P-T-t analysis of the metamorphic rocks, notably a newly found staurolite-bearing granulite, confirms a prograde isobaric heating path, after a supposed event of tectonic thickening of accretion sedimentary and oceanic crustal rocks. The possibility that partial melting took place in the Main Zone is significant for the genesis of the peraluminous (S-type) granitic rocks within it. -from Authors
