The lens predominantly consists of metasedimentary rocks hosting eclogite bodies that preserve brittle deformation on the μm-to-m scale. Here, we present a multidisciplinary approach that reveals fracturing related to dehydration and Edited by: eclogitization of blueschists. Evidence for dehydration is provided by relic glaucophane Bernhard Grasemann, University of Vienna, Austria and polyphase inclusions in garnet consisting of clinozoisite + quartz ± kyanite ± Reviewed by: paragonite that are interpreted as lawsonite pseudomorphs. X-Ray chemical mapping Luca Menegon, of garnet shows a network of microchannels that propagate outward from polyphase University of Oslo, Norway Simona Ferrando, inclusions.
