Abstract

Four types of lower Paleozoic orthogneisses were distinguished in the NE part of the Moldanubian terrane, Bohemian Massif, Czech Republic. Biotite orthogneisses are distributed in outer parts of the area, while three types of leucocratic muscovite-tourmaline orthogneisses build a SW-NE trending belt running through the entire area. The most fractionated Přibyslavice orthogneiss is characterised by enrichment of phosphorus and tin, mineralogically by common occurrence of phosphorus-enriched garnet.
