(1) No such difference in the pressure or temperature of metamorphism in the country rock is detectable.(2) all the rocks were subjected to several phases of metamorphism and deformation(3) Baked contacts with host rocks indicate that metamorphism associated with intrusion predates shearing.(4) However, this age could equally relate to post obduction metamorphism .(5) A striking characteristic of the Hellenides in the Aegean is the southward propagation of nappe emplacement and high - pressure metamorphism .(6) Both thrust and normal faults initiated synchronously with Miocene prograde metamorphism and melting, and have moved episodically since then.
