Pelite - Wikipedia
He observed that as a pelitic rock undergoes higher pressures and temperatures, its mineral assemblage changes from predominantly chlorite to biotite to garnet to staurolite to kyanite to sillimanite. This later turned out to be overly simplistic.
14 Metamorphism of Pelitic Rocks – Open Petrology - OpenGeology
Pelitic rocks metamorphosed under sanidinite-facies conditions are quite rare and are most commonly found as xenoliths within plutons. These pelitic rocks, characterized by the absence of micas, amphiboles, and other hydrous minerals, often contain uncommon or unusual minerals.
8.6.1: Metamorphosed Pelitic Rocks (Metapelites)
2022年8月28日 · Metapelites are rich in Al, Si, and K and may contain substantial amounts of Fe and Mg, so minerals containing these elements dominate metapelitic rocks. The table below lists the most common and important minerals in these rocks.
Pelitic rock | geology | Britannica
Pelitic rocks are derived from mudstone (shale) protoliths and are rich in potassium (K), aluminum (Al), silicon (Si), iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg), and water (H 2 O), with lesser amounts of manganese (Mn), titanium (Ti), calcium (Ca), and other Read More

Below is an example showing the prograde metamorphism of pelites around the Kangmar Dome of Tibet. View the AFM movies #1 and #2 of Worley and Powell showing how mineral compositions and stabilities can change with changing temperature. Part 1. Overview of Metamorphism and Tectonics Part 2. Introduction to Metamorphism Part 3.
Pelitic Sediments • Mudstones and shales: very fine grained mature clastic sediments derived from continental crust • Characteristically accumulate in distal portions of a wedge of sediment off the continental shelf/slope • Grade into coarser graywackes and sandy sediments toward the continental source
Metamorphism of Pelitic Rocks (Metapelites) | SpringerLink
Metapelitic rocks are derived from fine-grained (typically <2 µm) clay-rich sedimentary rocks such as shale, claystone and mudstone. Shale represents >80% of all sedimentary rocks (Table 2.2). With incipient metamorphism, these pelitic rocks are collectively termed argillite and further weak metamorphism transforms them into slate.

2022年11月2日 · We present a new compilation of published pelitic whole-rock analyses ranging in meta-morphic grade from shales to granulite-facies gneisses. It is ~20 times larger than any previous compilation.
Metamorphic mineral assemblages of slightly calcic pelitic rocks …
The mineral assemblages from metamorphosed slightly calcic pelitic rocks of the Taconic Range in southwestern Massachusetts and adjacent areas of Connecticut and New York were studied petrographically and chemically.
