Abstract
A zoned garnet from eclogite at Almenningen, Nordfjord, Norway, shows a decrease of Ti, V and possibly also Zr concomitant with its decreasing Alm, Gross and Spess contents from core towards rim. Co, Cr and Ni increase with increasing Py contents towards the rim.
Core compositions are related to the absolute size of the garnet crystals, indicative of garnet growth and nucleation over a time interval during which the adjacent domain was progressively depleted in certain elements.
