(Όρος Πέταλο, Βασιλικό, Άνδρος, Κυκλάδες, Ελλάδα)

The Mn-rich rocks are made up of highly oxidized quartzitic schists, quartzites and Mn-rich pyroxenoid and carbonate rocks. The ferromanganoan metasediments in central Andros form part of a volcano-sedimentary sequence that experienced low grade, high pressure metamorphism(P> 1,1 GPa; T = 360°-420° C) followed along the uplift path by a greenschist facies overprint.
