Trace element discrimination of arc, slab failure, and A-type granitic rocks
JB Whalen, RS Hildebrand - Lithos, 2019 - Elsevier
Although widely used, classification schemes for granitic rocks have until now failed to
separate slab failure from arc magmatism in collisional orogens. Our previous work showed …
