An Early Cretaceous garnet pressure–temperature path recording synconvergent burial and exhumation from the hinterland of the Sevier orogenic belt, Albion Mountains, Idaho

Rocks may undergo complex pressure–temperature (P–T) histories during orogenesis in response to alternating episodes of synconvergent burial and exhumation. In this study, chemical zoning in garnets combined with textural and chemical evidence from the schist of Willow Creek in the Albion Mountains of south-central Idaho (USA), reveals a complex P–T path during the early stages of Sevier orogenesis. The distribution of quartz inclusions combined...
