Abstract
Metamorphic rocks of Dehnow area mainly consist of gray to black fine-grained schists. Garnet schists are closer to the tonalitic body than the garnet chloritoid schists. There is a thin layer of staurolite and andalusite bearing hornfels between these schists and the Dehnow tonalitic body. Garnet schists and garnet chloritoid schists of Dehnow area are mineralogically comprised of quartz, biotite, muscovite, garnet, chlorite, chloritoid, tourmaline and ilmenite. Geothermobarometry results indicate that hornfels (550oC, 4.3 kbar) and garnet chloritoid schist (486-497oC) have formed in lower equilibrium condition in comparison with garnet schist (569oC, 5.3 kbar).
