Native titanium inclusions in the coesite eclogites from Dabieshan, China

Microbeam analysis of eclogites from the ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic belt in Dabieshan, China has revealed native titanium inclusions in garnets of coesite eclogite. The inclusions are about 10 μm in size, have a submetallic luster from the thin oxidation film on the surface, and are brown under reflected light. This is the first report of native titanium inclusions in ultrahigh-pressure eclogite.
