Sebadani mass

Invalid synonym: Sebadani amphibolite mass, Seba Meta-gabbro

Surrounded by Sebadani basic schists, tectonic blocks originated from accretionary complexes.

• High P/T metamorphic rocks (1.2 - 2.0 GPa, 720 - 750 degree C)
• Tectonic blocks of metamorphosed plutonic rocks originated from lower crust - upper mantle
