Gneisses from the Rauer Group, near Davis Base, east Antarctica, preserve a complex structural‐metamorphic and igneous history. Mafic granulites and paragneisses, preserved as relics and rafts within Proterozoic felsic orthogneisses, were affected by two early deformation episodes (D1 and D2) under granulite facies conditions. Partial melting of the mafic rocktypes occurred subsequent to these events and partly synchronous with the intrusion of syntectonic (D3) felsic orthogneisses. D3, a major episode which resulted in close to isoclinal folding of most of the gneisses in the area, progressed under granulite facies conditions of greater than 800°C and 7–8 kbar. Preliminary isotopic data indicate that D3 can be no older than 1400 Ma. A period of near‐isothermal decompression to 4 kbar at 700∘C late in and following D3 resulted in the production of leucocratic melts from metasedimentary gneisses, prior to the intrusion of discordant basic dykes of probable Late Proterozoic age (1200–1000 Ma). Further defor...
