The Mineral Evolution database is currently under development.
The goal of this page is to present localities at which the mineral is found, and estimates of the oldest possible geologic age of the minerals at these localities.

The age of ~110 Ma records amphibolite facies metamorphism and the beginning of recorded thermal history. This was followed by a period of rapid cooling until ~90 Ma when cooling rates decreased sharply, suggesting an initial period of unroofing followed

Data suggests that the Foulwind Granite was intruded and remained at depths of 14-18 km and temperature of >600 C until Cretaceous unroofing when hornblende, biotite, and K-feldspar closed. Alternatively, the thermal history could just reflect Cretaceous
