Below are some references that include discussions of deformation and
metamorphism of the peralkaline, Beech Granite in the southern
Appalachians. These papers include discussions of microstructural analyses;
conditions of deformation; changes in whole rock chemistry, mineralogy, and
isotopic systematics as a result of deformation.
