Abstract

A new version of garnet thermobarometer is proposed. It ensures better correlations of TP-estimates with results of pyroxene-pyrope thermobarometry than the previous version proposed by Ryan et al. The dependence of KD of the internal exchange reaction, KD = MgO · TiO2/ ((CaO+ MgO)2 · FeO · Al2O3), on temperature estimated with the Brey and Kohler orthopyroxene thermometer ( R = 0.783) is as follows: T (
