Thin section of deformed contact metamorphosed marble with clinopyroxene blasts surrounded by twinned and deformed calcite. Width: 3 mm. Contact aureole of the Monte Capanne pluton, Elba
Textbook: 'contact metamorphism is static'
The thin section:
In my experience, I have never seen fully static contact metamorphism, but that's maybe because Tuscan plutons aureoles are very deformed. Anyway, I am pretty tired of reading this sentence in textbooks 🙃
