Popis: Th, U and K have been determinedin paragneisses of different metamorphic grade. Both Th and U concentrations are lower in granulite facies rocks than in more low-grade metamorphic rocks of equivalent nature. Thus geological processes operating in the crust must result in an upward concentration of these elements. The Th U ratio of the paragneisses shows a wide variation which is related to the oxidation of U. Some evidence exists for a decrease of the Th U ratios with metamorphic grade.
