The Meliata unit represents a melange-like accretionary wedge, containing blueschist facies tectonic blocks and slices in a Triassic and Jurassic sedimentary matrix. The blueschist facies rocks are tectonic remnants of the subducted parts of the Meliata-Hallstatt branch of the Tethys. The phyllosilicate assemblages in very low-grade metapelites represent metastable disequilibrium stages which the assemblages have reached during reaction progress. Therefore, temperature and pressure values of low-T metamorphism of the sedimentary series and the late stages of decompressional cooling of blueschist facies rocks, obtained by phyllosilicate crystallinity, chlorite thermometric and white K-mica geobarometric methods, can be regarded as semi quantitative estimates. However, results of chlorite-white mica thermo-barometry suggest that local equilibrium was approached at a microscopic scale. For deciphering the age relations of prograde and retrograde events, K-Ar isotope geo-chronological methods were applied. The sedimentary series and related basalts of the Meliata unit experienced high-T anchizonal prograde regional metamorphism, the temperature and pressure of which can vary between ca. 280 and 350 degreesC and ca. 2.5 and 5 kbar. White K-mica b geobarometry suggests possible minimal pressures of ca. 1.5 to 3 kbar. The mylonitic retrogression of blueschist facies phyllites is characterised by 340 degreesC and 4 kbar (minimal P). The low-T prograde metamorphism was synchronous with the retrograde metamorphism of the blueschists. The ages of these two events may be between ca. 150 and 120 Ma, culminating most probably at around 140-145 Ma. Thus, the Upper Jurassic (lower-most Cretaceous) very low-grade metamorphism of the Meliata unit is younger than the subduction-related, 160-155 Ma blueschist facies event, and definitely older than the Cretaceous (100-90 Ma) metamorphism of the footwall Gemer Palaeozoic.
