Abstract

In metamorphic terrains, high-grade metamorphic rocks are spatially, and presumably genetically, related to migmatites. Read (1957) describes this general observation as follows: “One of the most firmly established facts in metamorphic geology is the close association in the field of highest-grade metamorphic rocks and migmatites.”
