Comment on this resource
These lecture notes provide several examples of regional metamorphism. The notes introduce Barrovian Facies metamorphism, using the classic example of the Dalradian and Moinian Series of Scotland. A Barrovian series in the southern Appalachians is also discussed. The Buchan facies series is discussed briefly. Two high-pressure facies series are discussed, the Franciscan in the western US and the Sanbagawa in Japan. Index minerals and paired metamorphic belts are also discussed. The lecture notes contain several geologic maps. This resource is part of the Teaching Petrology collection. http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/petrology03/index.html
