Geological position and origin of augen gneisses from the Policka Unit, eastern Bohemian Massif

Journal of Geosciences | April 1, 2009| | Copyright

Augen gneisses are a peculiar lithological type of the Policka Unit (PU), which can be divided into two main petrographic groups: augen metagranitoids and migmatitic augen gneisses. Both of the groups represent products of magmatic and metamorphic processes along the contact between the Svratka and Policka units in the eastern Bohemian Massif.

Tonalitic to granodioritic synkinematic intrusions were emplaced into metasedimentary rocks of the Policka Unit during the Late Variscan orogeny, forming plutonic bodies and dykes. Residual fluids from granitic melts pervasively infiltrated the ...
