Figure 5: P–T diagram of the HP Grt-websterite in the Alxa area.

Grt–Sp transition curve for websterite (pyroxenite) is from Herzberg30, and the metamorphic facies is from Bucher and Grapes36. Results of P–T calculations for studied samples are shown as assemblages of two to four reaction curves for geothermobarometry, listed in text and Table 1. The line with arrows is a proposed clockwise P–T trajectory. The P–T trajectory of the Grt-websterite of the Sharyzhalgai complex is from Ota et al.59.
