ARCHIMEDES AND THE TAUERN ECLOGITES - ROLE OF BUOYANCY IN THE PRESERVATION OF EXOTIC ECLOGITE BLOCKS
The eclogite fragments of the Tauern Window formed at pressures around 20 kbar and temperatures in the region 600-650°C; these pressures are higher by 10-12 kbar than those experienced by the units now surrounding the eclogite-bearing zone. The eclogites probably formed in a subduction zone prior to...
