The albite rim is present in most felsic gneisses of the Fuping Complex. The presence of the rim indicates the coexistence of plagioclase and K-feldspar in the rock. The rim is formed immediately after the myrmekite, ...

The source rock from which the sillimanite gneisses derive mainly was the biotite plagioclase gneiss in the Larsemann Hills. It is the deformation-metamorphism process under special pressure and temperature condition,...
In the gneisses from the drillhole ZK2304 of the Donghai area, there have been preserved high- and ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic mineral assemblages, a series of complicated retrogressive textures and relevant metamo...
A detailed mapping work has revealed that the studied Santunying area, which is about 500 km^2, is dominantly composed of three granulite facies plutonic gneisses, Santunying gneiss, Xiaoguanzhuang gneiss, both Q-dior...
