Using P-T paths to interpret the tectonothermal setting of prograde metamorphism: An example from the northeastern Gawler Craton, South Australia

▶ Metamorphic study of pelites in northeastern Gawler Craton, South Australia. ▶ Prograde metamorphic path and peak P/T conditions resolved. ▶ Major high-T/low-P metamorphic event at ca. 1.61-1.59 Ga. ▶ Contemporaneous with low-P thermal events in eastern Proterozoic Australia. ▶ Temperatures attained by intrusion of voluminous magmas and burial of hot rocks.
