摘要: Abstract An unusual eclogite pod containing impure jadeite to omphacite pyroxene with anti-phase domain (APD) visible under the optical microscope is hosted in a medium-grade matrix Leaota Massif. Textural relationships support hypothesis of garnet formation by peritectic reactions involving high-jadeite clinopyroxene, while inclusions entrapped garnet, mainly wide range amphibole compositions, seemingly crystallised from fluid phase disequilibrium host. Thermobarometric estimates indicate UHP, HT peak conditions (2.8–3.2 GPa, 780–840°C) inconsistent those associated rocks, followed complicated exhumation path. The P–T-array retrograde path suggests syn-subduction and tectonic inclusion melange derived accretionary wedge. Partial melting subducting slab, which induces weakening, may be an effective mechanism detaching enclosing small pods metamorphic terrains.
