Abstract

The paper describes reaction zones at a contact between the Older Granodiorite of Donegal and an included mass of metadolerite. The metadolerite has been converted to a biotite-rich rock and the granodiorite has been converted to a leucotrondhjemite. Chemical analyses and petrographic descriptions are given for each of the rock types.
