Abstract
The Horre Belt in the SE part of the Rhenish Massif has been regarded as autochthonous because of the apparent lack of metamorphic inversion. We have performed a K-white mica study using powder X-ray diffraction derived Kubler Index (KI) and K-white mica b cell dimension, and the spectrally derived wavelength of the 2,200 nm absorption feature (“2200wvl”) of supposedly allochthonous units and the underlying par-autochthon. KI reveals a slight,...
