Abstract
En la Sierra de Maz (Argentina) afloran gneises de composición mineralógica
poco frecuente: presentan ortoanfíbol + granate y ausencia de cordierita.
Estas rocas, además, se caracterizan por registrar dos eventos metamórficos
superpuestos: un evento M1 en facies granulitas, de edad grenvilliana
(ca. 1.2 Ga) y un evento M2 en facies anfibolitas, de edad Famatiniana
(ca. 460 Ma). La presión y la temperatura de este último evento han
sido determinadas con una pseudosección P-T en el sistema NCKFMASH,
obteniéndose como resultado unos valores de aprox. 675 ºC y 9.4 kbar. La
pseudosección confirma que la presencia de cordierita se restringe a condiciones
más bajas de P. Este es el primer estudio con técnicas modernas de
termobarometría de una paragénesis de este tipo
In the Sierra de Maz (Argentina) high-grade gneisses occurs with an uncommon mineralogical composition: orthoamphibole + garnet, without cordierite. These rocks underwent two superimposed metamorphic events: M1, under granulite facies conditions, Grenvillian (ca. 1.2 Ga), and M2, under amphibolites facies conditions, Famatinian (ca. 460 Ma). Pressure and temperature of the latter event have been calculated by isopleth intersection on a P-T pseudosection in the system NCKFMASH. Resulting values were ca. 675 ºC and 9.4 kbar. Moreover pseudosection modelling shows that cordierite is restricted to lower P conditions. This is the first case that this type of paragenesis is modelled with modern thermobarometry techniques
