- Metamorphic zone
Barrovian metamorphism takes place during regional metamorphism, caused by crustal thickening in the roots of an orogenic belt (under mountain chains). Barrovian zones are especially easy to recognize in pelitic rocks.
Metamorphic series include the Barrovian and Buchan series of metamorphic rocks. George Barrow was a geologist in Scotland who discovered the Barrovian series. These are also called metamorphic facies series.
Oct 25, 2000 · Barrovian metamorphism is the most commonly encountered. It occurs in intense tectonic conditions associated with volcanic arcs, and major mountain building. Barrovian metamorphism is widely found across time and space on all parts of the earth, and produces the most common metamorphic rocks.
Traditionally the metamorphic grade or facies in the Grampian Highlands is referred to zones defined by a set of index minerals developed in pelitic rocks. These zones in the south-east Highlands were first described by Barrow (1893; 1912). Slightly modified by Tilley (1925) the Barrovian zones (chlorite–> biotite–> garnet–> staurolite ...
Jan 1, 2011 · Abstract: In this paper we examine the length scales of major element diffusion in garnet during the Barrovian metamorphism. The role of diffusion in the flattening of Mn zoning profiles in garnet with increasing metamorphic grade across the Barrovian metamorphic series is ambiguous.

Jan 1, 2011 · Mid-crustal extensional ductile shear zones that crop out in the NE of the Grampian Terrane once focused narrow, Grampian-age heat sources (e.g. magmas, hot fluids, shear heating) that drove a brief thermal episode, resulting in the Barrovian metamorphism.
