Characterization of partial melting events in garnet-cordierite gneiss from the Kerala Khondalite Belt, India

Phase equilibria modelling coupled with U–Pb zircon and monazite ages of garnet–cordierite gneiss from Vallikodu Kottayam in the Kerala Khondalite Belt, southern India are presented here. The results suggest that the area attained peak P–T conditions of ~900 ​°C at 7.5–8 ​kbar, followed by decompres...
