Despite a perception that it represents a perverse divergence, it is perfectly possible to
believe in the existence of S-and I-type granites (and the implications for the nature of their …

Isotopic fingerprinting has long been used to trace magmatic processes and the components
that contribute to magmas. Recent technological improvements have provided an …

Field relations and whole-rock geochemistry indicate that magma mixing has been important
in the genesis of the late Mesozoic I-type igneous complexes at Pingtan and Tonglu in SE …

Granitic plutonism is the principal agent of crustal differentiation, but linking granite
emplacement to crust formation requires knowledge of the magmatic evolution, which is …

The major and trace elements and Sr–Nd–Pb isotopes of the host rocks and the mafic
microgranular enclaves (MME) gathered from the Dölek and Sariçiçek plutons, Eastern …

Micromilling of single crystals to yield microgram-sized solid samples for subsequent
isotopic analysis can yield important petrogenetic information from crystals (especially …

The Devonian–early Carboniferous (354.1±3.5 Ma: conventional zircon U–Pb age) Sázava
intrusion (biotite-amphibole quartz diorite, tonalite and granodiorite) of the Central …

The Murrumbidgee Batholith is typical of other composite S-type granite batholiths in the
Lachlan Fold Belt (LFB) of southeastern Australia, consisting of discrete peraluminous …

Coeval potassic adakite-like and shoshonitic felsic intrusions in the western Yunnan
province of SW China are spatially and temporally associated with Eocene–Oligocene …

The modification of magma through mixing or through assimilation of country rocks is
commonly inferred from various chemical and isotopic features of magmatic rock suites and …
