Granite is one of the most important components of the continental crust on our Earth; it thus
has been an enduring studied subject in geology. According to present knowledge, granite …

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 …

Zircon-and bulk-rock Zr-based thermometric parameters have become fundamental to
petrogenetic models of magmatism, from which broader geochronological and tectonic …

Over 5300 recent SHRIMP-RG analyses of trace elements (TE) in igneous zircon have been
compiled and classified based on their original tectono-magmatic setting to empirically …

In their late stages of evolution, peraluminous granitic melts exsolve large amounts of fluids
which can modify the chemical composition of granitic whole-rock samples. The …

The formation of the Himalaya was associated with the exhumation of high-grade
metamorphosed rocks of the Higher Himalayan sequence (HHS) complex, which underwent …

The Chicxulub asteroid impact (Mexico) and the eruption of the massive Deccan volcanic
province (India) are two proposed causes of the end-Cretaceous mass extinction, which …

Abstract Most of the Himalayan Cenozoic leucogranites are products of partial melting of
metapelite sources. In the Malashan-Gyirong area (southern Tibet), the geochemical …

Igneous rocks with high Ta concentrations share a number of similarities such as high
Ta/Nb, low Ti, LREE and Zr concentrations and granitic compositions. These features can be …

Concordant U–Pb zircon dates have been interpreted traditionally to date the crystallization
ages of plutons because until recently analytical uncertainties have generally been large …
