Granitoid rocks comprise granites, alkali-feldspar granites, granodiorites and tonalites, and constitute a large portion of the continental crust. Because the main constituents — alkali-feldspar, plagioclase, quartz, biotite, muscovite, hornblende — are found over a wide range of P-T conditions, this rock group is not a very useful indicator of ...

Geological Journal, 1991
AbstractThe concept of suites within granitoid batholiths must be treated with extreme caution, especially when petrogenic interpretation of identified suites is involved (e.g. infrastructural control of granitoid suite composition). Without stated, necessary, and sufficient operational definitions of the parameters (and their weighting) used in suite ...

Proterozoic Granitoids of Rajasthan
Journal of the Geological Society of India, 2005Abstract Two granitoid bodies each from Palaeo-, Meso- and Neo-proterozoic periods have been studied for their chemical, petrological and source characteristics The Proterozoic granitoids are megacrystic as well non-megacrystic with variable effect by tectonometamorphic events The Palaeo-proterozoic granitoids are peraluminous ...

Ultrametamorphism and granitoid genesis
Tectonophysics, 1977Abstract A model is presented to explain the geochemical and mineralogical characteristics of granitoids and their inclusions. The product of ultrametamorphism is melt + residuum, both of which may move en masse to the site of crystallization. The nature of the source material can be deduced from studies on the granitoids and their inclusions; based

Tectonic discrimination of granitoids
Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1989Granitoids as categorized by tectonic environment are (1) island arc granitoids (IAG), (2) continental arc granitoids (CAG), (3) continental collision granitoids (CCG), (4) postorogenic granitoids (POG), (5) rift-related granitoids (RRG), (6) continental epeirogenic uplift granitoids (CEUG), and (7) oceanic plagiogranites (OP).

Metamorphism of Granitoid Rocks
2002Granitoid rocks comprise granite, alkali-feldspar granite, granodiorite and tonalite. They constitute the largest portion of the continental crust. Granitoid gneisses, commonly migmatites, are in fact the dominant rock type of the continents. Because the main constituents — alkali-feldspar, plagioclase, quartz, biotite, muscovite, hornblende — are ...

The Granitoid Series and Mineralization
1981Abstract Granitoids can be classified into either a magnetite-bearing magnetite series or a magnetite-free ilmenite series, a classification also applicable to their effusive equivalents. Magnetite series granitoids are associated with major sulfide mineralization, whereas ilmenite series granitoids are related to cassiterite and ...

The behavior of tin in granitoid magmas
Economic Geology, 1992The spatial and temporal relationship between tin mineralization and granitoid rocks is well documented. A great deal of work, including mineralogic, geochemical, fluid inclusion, and stable and radiogenic isotope studies, has been undertaken on numerous cassiterite-bearing deposits in order to resolve the problem of their genesis.

Dike transport of granitoid magmas
Geology, 1993Thermal and fluid-dynamical analyses suggest that for viscosities and density contrasts spanning the range considered typical for many calc-alkalic granitoids, dike ascent is a viable mechanism for the transport of large volumes of granitoid melt through the continental crust.

Neoproterozoic granitoids on Wrangel Island
Doklady Earth Sciences, 2016Based on geochronological U–Pb studies, the age of Wrangel Island granitoids was estimated as Neoproterozoic (Cryogenian). Some granitoids contain zircons with inherited cores with an estimated age of 1010, 1170, 1200, and >2600 Ma, assuming the presence of ancient (Neoarchean–Mesoproterozoic) rocks in the Wrangel Island foundation and their ...
