Hi all. I received many excellent responses to my query below. To
summarize, this assemblage (Bt-absent Ms+Cld+Chl+Als) is well documented in
both the kyanite and andalusite fields, in a couple cases straddling the
Ky-And boundary (Mengel & Rivers, Can Min 1994; forthcoming paper by Pentti
Holtta and co-authors), but never in the Sil field. The assemblage is
likely terminated by the CldAls=StChl reaction, which occurs at lower
temperature than the Al2SiO5 invariant pt. (eg, in grids of Spear & Cheney
1989; Powell & Holland 1990).
