Latif, A. Kausar, A.

In southern Tibet, Yang et al. (2007) documented diamond- and coesitebearing chromitites from the Lobuosa ophiolite in the Indus-Tsangpo Suture zone (ITSZ). Coesite-bearing eclogites are reported in the Tso Morari and Kaghan massifs in NW Himalaya (O’Brien et al. 2001, Mukherjee et al. 2003 2005) in the ITSZ of the Main Mantle Thrust (MMT). The latter occurrences are the products of the subduction of the margin of the Indian continent between 57 and 44 Ma (Leech et al. 2005, Parrish et al. 2006, Guillot et al. 2008). We report a new occurrence of eclogitic rocks from the Stak area where pyroxenite boudins with a retrogressed eclogitic assemblage were described by Le Fort et al. in 1997. This massif east of the Nanga Parbat-Haramosh anticline consists of garnet-bearing orthogneisses, metasediments, and marbles intruded by dykes of boudinaged garnet-bearing metabasites. The metabasites have similar chemical composition as the basalts of the Panjal Traps and this association of the metabasites with metasediments suggest that the rocks represent the western margin of the Indian continent, similar to the UHP massifs at Kaghan (Chaudhry and Ghazanfar 1987) and Tso Morari (Guillot et al. 1997). The rocks in the Stak area have undergone at least two phases of folding. The youngest event is defined by NE oriented steep folds (up to 100m in size) with axial plane dipping ~ 60° towards the NW. Asymmetrical folds indicate the top verging to the SE, which is likely related to the exhumation of the Nanga Parbat-Haramosh block (Argles and Edwards 2002). The deformation of the MMT also affected the area, which resulted in alternating layers of weakly metamorphosed rocks of the Ladakh arc and strongly metamorphosed Indian continental rocks. The Stak massif contains well preserved eclogitic assemblage; garnet (Pyr34), omphacite (Jd46), phengite, Ca carbonate (most likely aragonite). The presence of coesite is suspected because the peak metamorphic condition is in the stability field of coesite, greater than 2.7 GPa, based on the bulk and garnet compositions. Rims of garnet contain inclusions of phengite and dolomite, clinopyroxene (Jd24) and plagioclase (Ab80). Omphacite in the matrix is altered to a symplectic mixture of Na-Ca clinopyroxene (Jd18) and albite, indicating that the retrogression under eclogitic conditions at ~1.8±0.1 GPa and 650-700°C. The late folding developed under amphibolitic facies conditions as marked by pargasitic amphibole, biotite and ilmenite and later the crystallization of hornblende. The assemblages indicate that the folding took place during a pressure decrease from 11 to 8 kbar and a temperature decrease from 700 to 600°C. Finally late localized millimetric shear bands defined by calcite and chlorite developed at the ductile-brittle transition under greenschist facies conditions.
