Eclogite outcrop in Ulla gneiss showing both foliated and homogenous eclogite as well as post-eclogite amphibolite. The PT conditions of the homogeneous eclogite is estimated to ~600â750 °C and ~1.0â2.5 GPa, whereas the PT conditions for the foliated eclogite is estimated to ~700â820 °C and ~2.7â3.7 GPa (Cao et al., 2020).
The outcrop is ca. 20 x 15 m in size.
