Eastern Iratsu mass

Associated with Imono mass, tectonic blocks of sedimentary rocks originated from accretionary complexes.

• High P/T metamorphic rocks
• Tectonic blocks of metamorphosed plutonic rocks originated from lower crust - upper mantle.

• Metamorphic facies: Eclogite facies
• Lithofacies (Protolith): Layered gabbro
• Lithofacies: Garnet epidote amphibolite
• Lithofacies (Minor): Eclogite

• Distribution: 4.0 x 2.0 km²
• Upper limit: Thrust fault
• Lower limit: Thrust fault
