  • HP garnet-pyroxenite and the mafic granulites formed by decompression have been found in the high-Himalaya crystallinites (HHC) from Kada-Zaxang near Dingri County, Tibet. The mineral assemblage of the HP garnet-pyroxenite in early stage, Grt+Cpx (rich in Al2O3) +Ru+Q, without any plagioclase, was formed in 845-896 ℃ and 1.2 GPa, with pressure as high as that in eclogitic phase. While the mineral assemblage of mafic granulite was Opx±Cpx (Al-poor) +Pl (An high up to 90) ±Grt (rim), of which the Opx, Cpx and Pl are symplectite which replaced the early Grt and Al-rich clinopyroxene in decompression condition: t=993-776 ℃, p=1.21-0.80 GPa. The latest mineral assemblage, Hb+Pl+Q, found to have replaced the assemblage of mafic granulite, was formed by retrograde metamorphism in amphibolitic phase. All of this show that the HHC have undergone an HP metamorphism and a stage of decompression retrograde metamorphism and that in early stage the temperature rose with the decompression, but in late stage it dropped with the decompression. Therefore, it can be assumed that the uplifting of the HHC was related to the hot source of the mantle.
