Metamorphism of Caledonian Metadolerites in North-west County Mayo, Ireland
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Summary
Caledonian dolerite dykes in northwest County Mayo, Ireland, are differentially metamorphosed with volumes of largely unmetamorphosed dolerite grading into marginal amphibole schists with no preserved igneous textures. Deformation controlled the extent of the metamorphism. The lack of a significant differential strain in the volumes of preserved igneous rock is considered to be the cause of the preservation.
