Paleozoic gneissic granitoids are an important lithologic component of the Shoo Fly Complex of the central Sierra Nevada, California. Field relations, petrographic, and geochemical studies indicate that the gneisses were originally intruded as a seri.es of plutons ranging from gabbro (oldest) to granite and granodiorite (median age) to syenite (youngest) with the granitoid types predominating. ...

The Shah-Kuh granitoid has intruded in the Triassic–Jurassic, pelitic and psammitic low-grade metamorphic rocks of the NE LutBlock, in Central Iran. Cordierite porphyroblasts are common in the southern pelitic sediments, but are rare in the northern psammiticrocks, in the contact aureole. Deformation fabrics in the contact aureole are well-preserved within the cordierite porphyroblasts. Therela...

biotite samples from different units of boroujerd granitoid complex (bgc) of the sanandaj-sirjan zone, western iran, have beenanalyzed by electron microprobe for major elements. biotite analyses from three units of quartzdiorite, granodiorite and monzograniteof bgc have their own distinct non-overlapping compositional fields in the annite – siderophyllite – phlogopite – eastonitequadrilateral (...

The Karakoram Terrane (KT) represents the southern margin of Eurasian Plate, mainly consisting Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous subduction-related granites and post-collisional Miocene leucogranites, which intrude Neo-Proterozoic basement. We report for first time existence Cryogenian KT basement as recorded from geochemistry geochronology tonalite gneiss (ca. 806 Ma) in southeastern terrane, NW ...

Fluorite mineralization was studied in the Variscan granitoid Karkonosze pluton northern part of the Bohemian massif (Lower Silesia, Poland). Fluid inclusions fluorite and quartz were investigated by following methods: heating freezing on an immersion microscope stage, spectrophotometric electron probe analysis, calcination water leachate. The parent fluids Na-Ca-Cl type with a low CO₂ content....
