Ultra_high pressure metamorphic minerals were found in three types of eclogite in western Tianshan Mountains, inclusions of coesite pseudomorphs in garnets were detected in type I eclogites interlayered with mafic blueschists and carbonate eclogites, quartz exsolution lamellae in omphacites were recognized in type Ⅱ eclogites with pillow structure,and magnesite of metamorphic origin was discovered in type Ⅲ lenticular calcite/dolomite eclogites within marbles. Based on the study of mineralogy and petrology, the metamorphic evolution of typeⅠ eclogites can be divided into three stages, i.e. pre_peak ultra_high pressure (UHP) metamorphic stage (356~433℃, 0.8~1.0 GPa), peak UHP eclogite_facies stage (496~598℃, 2.572 ~2.666 GPa) and retrograde epidote blueschist_facies stage (500~530℃, 1.0~1.2 GPa). The authors have set up phase equilibrium in NCMASCH system (Na 2O-CaO-MgO-Al 2O 3-SiO 2-CO 2-H 2O), and the calculation shows that the peak metamorphism of magnesite_bearing glaucophane eclogites in western Tianshan Mountains occurred at 2.7~2.8 GPa and 525~607℃, X CO 2 0.006. Consequently, the eclogites from western Tianshan Mountains have obviously undergone UHP metamorphism, and southern Tianshan orogenic belt might be the largest UHP metamorphic belt formed by subduction of oceanic crust in the world.
