Abstract: Granitoids of the tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite (TTG) series dominate Earth’s earliest continental crust. The geochemical diversity of TTGs is ascribed to several possible geodynamic settings of magma formation, from low-pressure differentiation of oceanic plateaus to high-pressure melting… read more here.
