Abstract: Observations in the S-type granites (s.l.) of the Wilson’s Promontory batholith demonstrate that one type of schlieren in granitic rocks represent accumulations of mainly mafic magmatic minerals, with internal layering formed through pulsed magma flow.… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Although the capacity for water to lower the solidus during crustal melting is well recognised, a modern consensus is that most granitic magmas are generated under fluid-absent melting conditions at temperatures ≥850 °C, and that… read more here.
