Fig. 21.
Some aspects of the HP-HT Upper Units. (
a
) Hinge zone of the large recumbent synform of the Capelada Unit
exposed in the coastal section of the Cabo Ortegal Complex. (
b
) Regional mylonitic foliation in the Bacariza Granulites
(Capelada Unit). (
c-d
) Decompressive partial melting affecting the granulites of the Bacariza Formation; (
c
) the primary
granulitic foliation is well preserved in sectors with limited partial melting, however (
d
) it may be strongly blurred in those
subjected to intense partial melting. (
e
) Banded Gneisses in the Masanteo peninsula (Capelada Unit). (
f
) Mingling features
exposed in a large metaigneous body preserved in the Banded Gneisses Formation; the HP-HT metamorphism transformed
the mafic parts in eclogites. (
g
) Augen gneiss body included in the eclogite layer of the Capelada Unit exposed in the Masan-
teo peninsula. (
h
) Cpx–Grt rock from the Sobrado Unit, Órdenes Complex.
