Abstract A c. 700 km2 area of northern Fiordland (South Island, New Zealand) is described in which Early Cretaceous high-pressure metamorphic rocks and virtually unmetamorphosed plutonic rocks occur. The dominant rocks are orthogneisses developed from synmetamorphic basic-intermediate intrusive complexes, the youngest and most widespread of which is the Early Cretaceous Western Fiordland Orthogneiss (WFO). The latter has undergone granulite facies metamorphism and occurs throughout much of western Fiordland. In the study area, the WFO protolith intruded a country rock of amphibolite facies metasediments and orthogneisses. Fragments of the country rock are rafted within WFO and are represented by George Sound Paragneiss and Rafted Granitoid Gneisses. External country rock is represented by Arthur River Complex and Jagged Gneiss (possibly related to the Anita Ultramafites); it may also include Indecision Creek Complex and Mount Anau Complex. The George Sound Paragneiss is correlated with the Central Fiordla...
