As a major component of continental crust, granites have been served as the most important
subject in geology. Based on advancements obtained during past decades, this paper …

Differentiation of the continental crust begins with its partial melting. The products of crustal
melting are silicic, hydrous, H 2 O-undersaturated, granitic liquids that are generated within …

Granitoids are a major component of the continental crust. They play a pivotal role in its
evolution, either by adding new material (continental growth), or by reworking older …

Although A-type granites have long been recognized as a distinct group of granites, the term
A-type was coined first less than thirty years ago. A-type suites occur in geodynamic contexts …

The most commonly used tectonic discrimination diagrams for granites were introduced by
Pearce et al.[Pearce, JA, Harris, NBW, Tindle, AG, 1984. Trace element discrimination …

The discrimination between potential source materials involved in the genesis of Iberian
granites and granodiorites, as well as the role of mantle-crust interactions, are examined …

Many precious and base metals (Cu, Au, Ag, Mo, W, Sn) in porphyry-type deposits are
extracted from a granitic to granodioritic silicate melt and transported by magmatic …

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 …

Abstract The Deddick Granodiorite, a mafic S-type pluton in the Lachlan Fold Belt, contains
abundant enclaves. Most are derived from high-grade metasediments of pelitic–psammitic …

The classification scheme of granitic pegmatites currently in vogue is largely an offshoot of
the depth-zone classification of granitic rocks. We propose instead a focus on petrogenetic …
