Both samples contain kyanite, staurolite, and zoisite as relics from an early metamorphic stage (M1), and biotite and sillimanite as major minerals constituting the foliation formed during the late metamorphic stage (M2)." "The change in mineral assemblages indicates a clockwise P-T path composed of a high- or medium-P + low-T stage (M1) and a subsequent low-P + high-T stage (M2). The U-Pb concordia ages of zircon rims are...
