The Occurrence of Chloritoid in the Hecla Hoek Formation of Prince Charles Foreland, Spitsbergen
Abstract In the Hecla Hoek rocks of Prince Charles Foreland, field evidence indicates that chloritoid has developed only where conditions of extreme stress have affected pelitic rocks of a certain type. Microscopic examination confirms that many of the chloritoid-bearing rocks are extremely strained...

| Summary: | Abstract In the Hecla Hoek rocks of Prince Charles Foreland, field evidence indicates that chloritoid has developed only where conditions of extreme stress have affected pelitic rocks of a certain type. Microscopic examination confirms that many of the chloritoid-bearing rocks are extremely strained, and demonstrates that growth of the mineral was contemporaneous with movement. The distribution of chloritoid is in complete discordance with the pattern of regional metamorphism. |
