    Journal of the Geological Society, London, Vol. 143, 1986, pp. 237-252, 14 figs, 4 tables. Printed in Northern Ireland Geochemistry of Dalradian pelites from Connemara, Ireland: new constraints on kyanite genesis and conditions of metamorphism C. C. FERGUSON' & S. I. AL-AMEEN2 Department of Geology, Birkbeck College (University of London), London WlP lPA, England Department of Geology, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, NG7 2RD, England Abstract: Whole-rockand mineral analyses of Dalradianpelites from W Connemarashow that kyanitepelites are not unusually Mg-rich as previouslysupposed. Their chemistry is transitional, especially in Ca content, between overlying Fe-rich staurolite pelites and underlying Ca-rich rocks. The flysch basin in which they were deposited was established relatively earlyin the west, its sediment fill including carbonate-rich influxes derived from an adjacent swell to the east which later subsided to form an enlarged basin. Kyanite has a very restricted spatial distribution because its development was controlled by Fe deficiency associated with the carbonate-rich influxes, which in turn led to relatively high XMg during metamorphism.P-T estimates for themetamorphic peak are 650" f 25 "C and -8 kbar, about 50°C and 3 kbar greater than for similar rocks in the east. The difference can be related to structural level with respect to regional-scale folds, which may have developed as a huge backfolded complex during the emplacement of the Connemara allochthon. The Connemara Schists (Dalradian Supergroup) comprise a greaterthan 200 km'. Area A is clearly of central varied sequence of pelites,psammites, quartzites, marble- importance in understanding the genesis and significance of calcsilicate units, and a distinctive diamictitehorizon.
