The amount of retrograde metamorphism varies from relatively minor with preserved pseudomorphs of garnet or idocrase, to extensive involving the nearly complete recrystallisation of the lower amphibolite facies assemblage to a lower greenschist assemblage.
One sample (S84-17) has 2 cm long square prisms of fine-grained sericite that are interpreted to be pseudomorphs of idocrase. Biotite-rich gneiss with quartz and up to 25% albitic plagioclase make up some of the metapelitic interbeds within the siliceous marble.
Retrograde metamorphic effects in siliceous marble include the formation of sericite pseudomorphs after idocrase (S84-17), chlorite after phlogopite, and the formation of almost pure calcite as the carbonate mineral.
