Abstract
- A geodynamic model specific to Eocene subduction in the NW Himalaya was constructed.
- Subducted crust reached â¼2.6-2.8 GPa and â¼600-620â°C (â¼90-100 km depth).
- Previously reported peak pressures up to â¼4.8 GPa are not geodynamically achievable.
- Fluid-poor granite would not have pervasively transformed during subduction.
- Tso Morari and Kaghan represent fragments of a coherent â¼400-km-long UHP terrane.
