In the basal thrust sheets of the Lycian nappes fresh Fe-Mg-carpholite documents low-grade, high-pressure (HP) metamorphism. Here we describe the first occurrences of this HP indicator mineral in Turkey, its regional distribution and geodynamic consequences. Carpholite and its breakdown products, such as chloritiod and pyrophyllite, occur in the Lycian nappes s.s. Relics of Fe-Mg-carpholite were also found in klippen of Lycian nappe material located on top of the Menderes crystalline massif. The distribution of the Fe-Mg-carpholite and its relics traces an extensive area of HP metamorphism in the sediments of a passive continental margin.
