This chapter addresses the portion of the geochemical cycle of beryllium that entails its
transfer through the continental crust by the generation and migration of silicic magmas …

Low-pressure peraluminous migmatites from the Peña Negra Complex (central Spain)
stayed partially molten for 5–10 Ma, until the latest Hercynian deformations allowed the …

A series of experiments on the fluid-absent melting of a quartz-rich aluminous
metagreywacke has been carried out. In this paper, we report the chemical composition of …

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 …

The Avila batholith of central Spain is composed of upper Carboniferous peraluminous
granitoids that were preceded by volumetrically insignificant bodies of mafic-ultramafic …

Regional metamorphism occurs in plate boundary zones. Accretionary orogenic systems
form at subduction boundaries in the absence of continent collision, whereas collisional …

The results of~ 4000 LA–ICP–MS analyses in 152 thin sections from common crustal rocks
reveal that several rock-forming minerals contain tens to a few thousand ppm of Zr. The …

Empirical studies of zircon in migmatites document features compatible with growth during
heating at suprasolidus conditions. However, numerical modelling of zircon behaviour …

The behaviour of trace elements during partial melting depends primarily on their mode of
occurrence. For elements occurring as trace constituents of major phases (eg Li, Rb, Cs, Eu …

Abstract The Early Permian Cornubian Batholith was generated during an extensional
regime following Variscan convergence within the Rhenohercynian Zone of SW England. Its …
