AbstractThe Jarawa Younger Granite complex is composed of high silica alkali granites that were emplaced 161 Ma ago. The granites are characterized by high contents of Rb, Li, F, Sn, Nb, W above normal low-Ca granitic rocks and have typical S-type characteristics that are indicative of a substantial component of crustal melt.Mineralization in the complex is associated with the biotite granite which was emplaced as a sheet-like body at relatively shallow depth and occurs as disseminations and as greisen lodes and veins.Chemical studies of the granites have shown that the biotite granite represe

Abstract The Mesoproterozoic Rondônia Tin Province of the Amazonian craton records a protracted history of about 600 m.y. of successive rare-metal granite intrusions and hosts the youngest known event of tin-granite emplacement of the craton—a rare-metal granite suite known as the Younger Granites of Rondônia intrusive suite. The ~1 Ga suite is currently interpreted as intracratonic magmatism resulting from a Grenvillian-age orogeny during the assembly of Rodinia.

Abstract:
A-type felsic magmatism associated with the Cambrian Southern Oklahoma Aulacogen began with eruption of voluminous rhyolite to form a thick volcanic carapace on top of an eroded layered mafic complex. This angular unconformity became a crustal magma trap and was the locus for emplacement of later subvolcanic plutons. Rising felsic magma batches ponding along this crustal magma trap crystallised first as fine-grained granite sheets and then subsequently as coarser-grained granite sheets. Aplite dykes, pegmatite dykes and porphyries are common within the younger coarser-grained granite sheets bu

Abstract:
Four granitic plutons from the easternmost portion of the São Roque Domain (SRD) were dated by U-Pb zircon SHRIMP; the results indicate that the peak of granitic magmatism was concentrated in a short interval (606–589 Ma), the same as in the central portion of the SRD. The two porphyritic biotite granites (Morro Azul and Imbiruçu) yield the oldest ages (respectively, 601.0 ± 4.9 Ma and 606.3 ± 4.8 Ma) and have inherited zircons with similar ages (~2.1–2.0 Ga), but are not comagmatic. The Morro Azul granite has geochemical signature similar to other high-K calc-alkaline (HKCA) granites from the

The petrography of the Mounio province, the subject of this study, is poorly understood, as very few geological studies have been undertaken. This province is an integral part of the Pan-African mobile zone located to the east of the West African craton, between the Tuareg and the Benino-Nigerian Shields. In the study area, the Pan-African formations were intruded by anorogenic magmatism, resulting in the emplacement of the Younger granites. Most of the petrographic data in this area of the Niger basement come from geological correlations. The aim of this study is to update the geological map

ABSTRACT The Barberton region of South Africa is characterized by a broad variety of granite types that range in age from ca. 3.5 Ga to 2.7 Ga and reflect the processes involved in the formation of Archaean continental crust on the Kaapvaal Craton. These granites are subdivided into three groups, as follows: A tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite (TTG) suite diapirically emplaced at 3 450 Ma and 3 250 Ma into pre-existing metamorphosed greenstone belt material. TTG melts were derived from melting amphibolite in the lower crust, with individual plutons being emplaced at various crustal levels. Th

The studied granites exhibit a magnetic susceptibility (Km) ranging from 30 to 10,436 × 10−6 SI units.

Thus, the Middle-Dnieper megablock is important for studying the genesis and geodynamic formation conditions of Late Archaean granitoids.
