Measuring Metamorphic Intensity
Zones and Facies
George Barrow mapped a widespread series of
zones of progressive metamorphism, as observed in
the Dalradian sequence exposed in Scottish
Highlands, in the late 19th century. Each
zone recognized is based on the first appearance
of a group of distinctive index minerals as the
highest metamorphic grade, along the thermal
axis, was approached. Barrow believed the
zones resulted from the heat from the small
granitic intrusives found in the high grade zones
- Contact Metamorphism Another geologist,
(C.E. Tilley) working on the same rocks in a
different area suggested that the temperature of
each zone was largely determined by the depth of
burial (geothermal gradient), modified at depth
by heat from the intruded granites.

Barrovian Facies Series of the Southern
Appalachians
The Barrovian Facies Series occurs in the
southern Appalachians, extending from Central
Virginia to Alabama.  Interpretation of the
relationship between deformation and metamorphism
is complicated by the fact the region has
experienced at least three mountain building
events, and thrust faults cut the area.
