Zoning in garnets from the mainland Lewisian

Abstract

Two types of zoning are found in garnets from Lewisian rocks. One is due to retrogression of an earlier homogeneous garnet while the other results from growth (or equilibration) during falling temperatures. Both zoning patterns result from metamorphism during or after the Dionard tectonic phase of the Laxfordian event.
