TLDR
In situ anatectic features have been identified on the basis of the existence of new generations of cordierite and/or garnet produced as the solid products of incongruent anatexis within or adjacent to leucosomes.About:

TL;DR: In this article, a full-plate, topological model of the Neoproterozoic that maps the evolution of the tectonic plate configurations during this time is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Granite: From genesis to emplacement
TL;DR: In this paper, phase diagrams for pelite are used to illustrate the mineralogical controls on melt production and the consequences of different clockwise pressure-temperature (P - T ) paths on melt composition.

Water-fluxed melting of the continental crust: A review
TL;DR: A review of the literature shows that melting due to the fluxing of aqueous fluids is a widespread process that can take place in diverse tectonic environments and that melts become the transport agent of water into supra-solidus terranes and responsible for water-fluxed melting as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
When the Continental Crust Melts
TL;DR: Partial melting of the continental crust has long been of interest to petrologists as a small-scale phenomenon as mentioned in this paper, but it has been shown that the consequences are crustal-scale.

Migmatites formed by water-fluxed partial melting of a leucogranodiorite protolith: Microstructures in the residual rocks and source of the fluid
TL;DR: In this paper, the modal mineralogy, microstructure, and whole rock major, trace and oxygen isotope compositions of the protolith and migmatites were investigated to; 1) determine the melting reaction, 2) find microstructural criteria for identifying residual rocks in leucocratic systems where there is no melanosome, and 3) to determine the source of the fluid involved in anatexis.

The continental crust: Its composition and evolution
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the composition of the present upper crust and deal with possible compositions for the total crust and the inferred composition of lower crust, and the question of the uniformity of crustal composition throughout geological time is discussed.

An internally consistent thermodynamic data set for phases of petrological interest
TL;DR: In this paper, the thermodynamic properties of 154 mineral endmembers, 13 silicate liquid end-members and 22 aqueous fluid species are presented in a revised and updated data set.

J. B. H Olland,R. P Owell +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a revised and updated data set of 154 mineral end-members, 13 silicate liquid endmembers and 22 aqueous fluid species, which is used for the calculation of uncertainties on mineral reactions to be performed.

Experimental determination of the fluid-absent melting relations in the pelitic system
Daniel Vielzeuf,John R. Holloway +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the melting of a natural metapelite under fluid-absent conditions was studied experimentally and a series of P-T, T-XH2O, and liquidus diagrams were proposed.
