Metamorphic series include the Barrovian and Buchan series of metamorphic rocks. George Barrow... Mr Buchan...[1]. These are also called metamorphic facies series. A metamorphic facies series is a sequence of metamorphic facies which plot in a temperature-pressure diagram along a line, and this line represents a certain geothermal gradient. They are not to be confused with metamorphic zones, as these are defined as a region on a geological map where the pressure-temperature conditions for an index mineral (a mineral that indicates the approximate metamorphic grade of a rock, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_mineral) were appropriate for these minerals to form.
