Eclogites are generally considered as derived from basaltic or gabbroic rocks which have either been intensely metamorphosed during subduction-obduction related processes or, associated with continental crust and affected by major crustal thrusting. The advantage of petrological, geochemical, and geochronological study of eclogitic rocks is twofold. First, metabasic rocks are capable of preserving the original magmatic characteristics of igneous formations. Second, the study of eclogites enables us to appreciate the behaviour of isotopic tracers during high-grade metamorphism.
