Abstract
Chloritoid- and kyanite-bearing acid metavolcanic rocks of the Abitibi Greenstone belt have acquired an aluminum surplus by weathering prior to metamorphism. The weathering increases from the top of the volcanic unit downwards, as shown by increasing values for both Niggli-t and the Zr/P ratio. The depositional environment of these rocks is postulated to be either shallow marine or terrestrial.
