... facies rocks (mostly felsic granulites and granulitic gneisses) with lenses and boudins of serpentinized garnet and spinel peridotite, pyroxenite, retrogressed eclogite comprise- several large, oval-shaped massifs (the Blanský Les, Křišťanov, Prachatice, Lišov, and Krasejovka Granulite Massifs) in the south-western part of the Moldanubian zone (Fig. 1). The granu- lite massifs also contain lenses of pyroxene-bearing granulite of intermediate composition, whose relation to felsic granulite is unclear (Kodym, 1972;Vrána, 1992). The garnet or spinel peri- dotites and garnet pyroxenites systematically form discontinu- ous lenses along the margins of all the granulite massifs. Similar to ...

... localities will be visited in the southern part of the Bo- hemian Massif (Fig. 1), which include two stops (4-1and 5-1) in granulite massifs with HP granulites and lenses of HP/UHP ma- fic and ultramafic rocks, a stop (4-2) in high-grade gneiss that is structurally beneath the granulite massifs, and a stop (4-3) in ec- logites in the Monotonous Unit. ...

... large active quarry Pod Libínem is located directly at the SW margin of the Prachatice Granulite Massif (Fig. 1). The fel- sic granulites exhibit penetrative steep fabric and contain bodies of partially serpentinized Grt peridotites and pyroxenites, which form up to 10-m-large boudins. Granulite consists of feldspars, quartz, garnet, biotite, and kyanite (sillimanite), cordierite and accessory, spinel, rutile, zircon, graphite and apatite. Quartz ...
