Dear Listmembers,
Granulite facies garnets often show relatively high Ti contents in their
cores and zonations to nearly Ti-free rims. Sometimes one can find
finegrained rutile needles inside the garnets in strong orientation. Both
features may be results of higher solubility of Ti in garnet at high
pressures (or high temperatures?).
I was searching for a reference dealing with Ti solubility in garnet, but
did'nt find anything. Help!
thanks in advance!
