Titanian andradite in the Nomo rodingite: Chemistry, crystallography, and reaction relations

Titanian andradite and hydroandradite containing up to ~ 10 wt% TiO2 were identified in rodingite as well as the host serpentinite in a sample obtained from the Nomo unit, Nagasaki Metamorphic Rocks (western Kyushu, Japan), representing a Cretaceous subduction complex. The rodingite consists of garnet (solid solution among three end–member compositions: grossular, andradite, and titanian hydrogarnet), diopside and chlorite, along with minor...
