Casey Bay is a large Antarctic bay indenting the coast of Enderby Land between Tange Promontory and Dingle Dome. The feature was observed from Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions aircraft in 1956. It was named by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia for the Rt. Hon. Richard G. Casey (later Lord Casey), Australian Minister for External Affairs, 1951โ60. [Wikipedia]

The tablets are flattened parallel to {010} and a few grains show these faces. Individual tablets range from 1 to 7 mm across and from 0.5 to 4 mm thick as seen in thin section. Khmaralite is most closely associated with sillimanite, surinamite, musgravite, garnet, and biotite,.
The textures of the aggregates, particularly the relatively fine grain size (few mm to nearly 3 cm) and preferred orientation, suggest a metamorphic origin. Grew proposed granulite-facies conditions of โฅ 820 ยฐC, โฅ 10 kbar after intrusion. Khmaralite and associated minerals are inferred to have formed by metamorphism of pre-existing pegmatitic Be phases. |
