Crystal-melt separation of the Cretaceous volcanic-plutonic complex in SE China: High Sr/Y rocks generated by plagioclase accumulation
H Shi, Y Xia, X Xu, J Zhu, J He - Lithos, 2022 - Elsevier
High Sr/Y intermediate-silicic rocks have attracted much attention due to their close
connections with porphyry Cu-Mo deposits and TTGs. However, the origin of high Sr/Y …
