Petrogenesis of the Late Carboniferous Sagsai Pluton in the SE Mongolian Altai [PDF]
Hf values of +7.4 to +11.5. The latter suggest an exclusively juvenile, depleted mantle-derived magma source. According to calculated P–T conditions, we propose three main stages in the Sagsai Pluton evolution. The gabbro started to grow at >1000 °C and 0.8–0.9 GPa.
