The Kutná Hora Complex (KHC), bordering the Moldanubian Zone at the north, represents a crustal stack of several allochthonous units. This study presents new interpretation based on detailed whole-rock geochemical analyses, petrology, mineral analyses and geothermobarometric calculations. Samples were selected from the Malín and the Bestvina units, with preference for kyanite-bearing albitic felsic gneisses with high-pressure metamorphic record.

Three types of kyanite-garnet-albite-K-feldspar rocks studied include: (1) an early Variscan felsic granulite from the Bestvina Unit equilibrated under eclogite-facies conditions (P = 1.8-2.1 GPa, metamorphic event M^sub 1^), (2) a garnet-kyanite ...
