I've been to Tso Moriri as a tourist.. so this paper on ecologites makes me want to visit it again as a geologist..Suvrat Kherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281172632784780810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5859094080858570248.post-77348117045514365202010-06-04T22:49:56.643+05:302010-06-04T22:49:56.643+05:30Nice write-up.

I agree with you that it's cool how the presence or composition of a single mineral or an assemblage of a few minerals can tell us so much about the geodynamics of tectonics. One of my favorite papers is Christian Chopin's (1984, CMP 86:2) documentation of coesite (high-pressure silica) in rocks from the Alps. It was, I think, the first proof that continental crust could subduct. Since then, diamond and other minerals, like majorite, keep extending the depth of burial and the necessary speed of excavation.CMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11644474060200286294noreply@blogger.com
