The pressure-temperature (P–T) paths for the ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphic units in the Western Alps

Caption

The P–T path for the Sesia zone (continental origin) is from the present study. The P-T paths obtained by previous studies for the Lago di Cignana Unit (oceanic origin) from the Piemont-Liguria Zone and Brossasco-Isasca Unit (continental origin) from the Dora-Maira Massif are shown for comparison.
