Barrovian metamorphic rocks are exposed in the footwall of the Boundary Canyon detachment in the Funeral Mountains, California. The highest-grade rocks are found in lower Monarch Canyon in the NW part of the range. Lithologies include garnet amphibolite, quartzo-feldspathic paragneiss, and pelitic schist. In-situ trondhjemitic partial melts formed...
The Funeral Mountains in Death Valley National Park expose Barrovian metamorphism in the footwall of the Tertiary Boundary Canyon detachment fault. In the highest grade part of the footwall, there is an apparent grade discordance across the Monarch Spring fault, with middle amphibolite facies rocks occurring above the Monarch Springs Fault, and par...
