Abstract: Metabasites with evidence for breakdown of former eclogites and recrystallization under granulite facies conditions occur in the Dumbier Crystalline Complex of the Low Tatra Mountains, Central Western Carpathains. Textural relationships, phase equilibrium modelling and thermobarometry have been used to determine the P-T evolution of these rocks. Omphacite diagnostic for the eclogites facies stage is absent but its former presence is inferred from the symplectitic intergrowths of clinopyroxene+plagioclase. The re-equilibration in high-pressure granulite facies conditions is demonstrated by the assemblage garnet+clinopyroxene (
