Summary

description
English: Stop 5-6. Detail of migmatitic rocks with boudin-type structures. The original lithology was of interlayered pelitic and semipelitic material and now shows rigid, pulled apart cordierite-rich hornfels (metapelite) layers (A), ductile semipelitic layers (B) and segregated Kfs+Qtz-rich leucosomes occupying the gaps between the pulled apart hornfels layers (C). Notice how the leucosome merges into the ductile semipelite, giving the impression of being extracted from it. Field of view is 5 cm across. See notes of Stop 1-9 for further explanation.
