On ferroan (A-type) granitoids: their compositional variability and modes of origin
CD Frost, BR Frost - Journal of petrology, 2011 - academic.oup.com
We recognize eight types of ferroan granitoid that can be distinguished on the basis of major
element chemistry. These include alkalic granitoids that may be metaluminous or …
