At the margin of part of the Caledonian orogenic belt in northwest Scotland, garnet growth is entirely synchronous with the early phases of the second deformation, whereas toward the interior of the belt, garnet growth becomes progressively earlier relative to the same deformation. It is suggested that garnet growth (metamorphism) and deformation are diachronous through a 15-km thickness of the crust. This content is PDF only. Please click on the PDF icon to access.
