Abstract Two Seve Nappes occur in the Areskutan area. The lower nappe is composed of a layered sequence of tectonized metasediments and amphibolites, metamorphosed in the amphibolite facies. The upper nappe (Areskutan Nappe) consists of high-grade migmatitic gneisses and metabasites. The two nappes are separated by a mylonite zone. A remnant of extensively mylonitized Sarv Nappe is believed to occur between the Lower Seve Nappe and the Silurian rocks of the Lower Allochthon. The Sarv Nappe is metamorphosed in greenschist facies. A phyllonitic zone separates the Sarv Nappe from the Lower Seve Nappe. The mineral assemblage in the amphibolite facies Lower Seve Nappe indicates recrystallization temperatures around 550°C and pressures of 200–500 MPa. The distribution coefficients for the partitioning of Mg and Fe between biotite and garnet are about K D = 0.18. Strong retrogression occurred in the mylonitic basal parts of the Sarv and Seve Nappes during Caledonian nappe translation. In the gneisses of the Ares...
