Dear Mauricio,
I believe that you could find some ideas about
your problem looking for the literature about the
metasomatic shear zones affecting granitoids.
There is quite some literature from the Alps
(some refs. - non exhaustive - pasted below),
particularly concerning the whiteschists and the
so-called leucophyllites.
I have seen similar rocks in the Armorican
massif. One of them is described in this paper:
Pitra, P., Boulvais, P., Antonoff, V. & Diot, H.,
2008. Wagnerite in a cordierite-gedrite gneiss:
Witness of long-term fluid-rock interaction in
the continental crust (Ile d'Yeu, Armorican
Massif, France). American Mineralogist, 93,
315-326.
Not really a phyllonite, but other shear-zones
from the region could be classified as
"phyllonites" (biotite dominated schists, locally
with garnet or staurolite, forming "bands" in the
granitoids); we are working on them and I hope
we'll manage to publish something in the near
future.
Good luck!
All the best,
Pavel
