Abstract

The rocks exposed in the Kőszeg-Rechnitz Window in Western Hungary and Austria belong to the Penninic unit of the Alps. The investigated rocks are of sedimentary origin, mostly graphitic chlorite-muscovite phyllites and quartzphyllites. The latter contains significant amounts of detrital zircon and tourmaline. Morphology of zircon grains has been preserved during metamorphism and indicates alkaline granite, plagiogranite, monzogranite and garnodiorite source rocks. Electron microprobe investigation on tourmaline grains indicates formation in Ca-poor metapelites and metapsammites without Al-saturated phases. These rocks have shed part of the sediments deposited in the Penninic ocean.
