Revealing the Mineralogical and Petrographic Signs of Fluid-Related Processes in the Kelebia Basement Area (Szeged Basin, S Hungary): A Case Study of Alpine Prograde Metamorphism i... by Andrea Varga, Elemér Pál-Molnár, Béla Raucsik

“…Due to the outcrop conditions and poor exposure, study samples are obtained from cores and core chips resulting from oil exploration. Based on an evaluation of petrographic (including also cathodoluminescence analysis) and microstructural features, joined with mineralogical and metamorphic data such as “illite crystallinity” and K-white mica crystallite size obtained by X-ray powder diffractometry (XRPD), a very low- to low-grade (ca. 300°C) Alpine metamorphic imprint of this portion of the basement can be proposed. …”
