Petrogenetic grid of the Kluane metamorphic assemblage
These are major reactions in the systems FASH, KFASH, KFNASH and KFMASH, deduced from
petrographic studies of the Kluane metamorphic assemblage. A full description can be found here.
(2) Chlorite + muscovite + quartz = garnet + biotite + H20
(4) Muscovite + chlorite + garnet + quartz = staurolite + biotite + H20
(5) Muscovite + chlorite + quartz + staurolite = andalusite / sillimanite + biotite + H20
(6) Garnet + andalusite / sillimanite + quartz = cordierite
(7) Biotite + andalusite / sillimanite + quartz = cordierite + K-feldspar + melt
(8) Muscovite + quartz = K-feldspar + sillimanite + melt
(9) Sillimanite + garnet = cordierite + spinel
