The end of the Archean aeon (3.0–2.5 Ga) was a period of fundamental change in many
aspects of the geological record. In Archean cratons, this timespan is marked by a …

Water-fluxed melting, also known as fluid-or water-present melting, is a fundamental process
in the differentiation of continents but its importance has been underestimated in the past 20 …

Biotite (sensu lato) is a widespread rock‐forming mineral in magmatic rocks that can be
stable in a broad range of pressure and temperature, but appropriate biotite thermometers or …

Many studies of experimental petrology have devoted to partial melting of crustal rocks. In
order to provide lithochemical constraints on granite petrogenesis, this paper presents a …

The geodynamic context of formation of the Archaean continental crust is a matter of debate.
The crust is largely made of grey gneiss complexes, a composite rock assemblage …

Rocks of basic and intermediate bulk composition occur in orogenic terranes from all
geological time periods and are thought to represent significant petrological components of …

The geological implications of granitoid magmas with high Sr/Y and La/Yb are debated
because these signatures can be produced by multiple processes. This study presents …

New field observations, ages and geochemical data are presented for the Adamawa-Yadé
domain, forming part of Central African Orogenic Belt in Cameroon. This belt delineates the …

Abstract The Archean Kongling Terrane preserves voluminous Paleoarchean-
Paleoproterozoic granitoids, recording the early formation and evolution history of the …

Neoproterozoic magmatism in the Yangtze Block of South China produced voluminous S-
and I-type granites, and sparse A-type granites. The Daxiangling A-type granitic pluton is …
