Medaris et al., 1995), but these isotopic signatures were interpreted as due to the involvement of oceanic clay in the melting of subducted oceanic lithosphere, and the eclogites were considered to represent high-pressure cumulate of enriched basaltic liquid (Medaris et al., 1995). In any case, the oceanic crust origin of the eclogites from the Hercynian belt is clearly demonstrated, and the... 

The eclogite facies indicates high-grade metamorphism produced when oceanic crust containing magnesium and iron is subducted to extreme depths. The very high temperatures and pressures produce garnet and pyroxene.
