Abstract: Abstract Granitic rocks (sensu lato) are major constituents of upper continental crust. Recent reviews reveal that the average composition of Phanerozoic upper continental crust is granodioritic. Although oceanic arcs are regarded as a site producing… read more here.

Abstract: Mafic microgranular (microgranitoid) enclaves (MMEs) with fine-to medium-grain–size igneous microstructures are abundant in Permian granitoid plutons in the northern North China Block (NCB). They are mainly dioritic in composition with SiO 2 contents from 51.0… read more here.
