Notes: End-member fractions of spinel are calculated as (100 x Mg/[A]) = spinel; (100 x Fe/[A]) = hercynite; (100 x Mn/[A]) = galaxite; and (100 x Zn/[A]) = gahnite. Li and H contents are determined by the staurolite-normalization procedure (Hawthorne et al., 1993) (46.5 Ox; Li = 0.2 and H = 3.06 apfu; Fe3+ = 3.5 wt% total Fe). Subsequently, H2O (#) and Fe2O3 () are back-calculated. For the other minerals, Fe3+ contents () are calculated as described by Droop (1987). X Mg = Mg/(Mg + Mn + Fe2+) and CC= (Ca + Na + K) in cordierite. St-HGS = Staurolite-bearing high-grade schist. Mineral abbreviations are from Kretz (1983); n.d. = not determined; — = not calculated.
