Numerous inselbergs rise above the regional erosional surface in semiarid northeastern Brazil. The are underlain by Quixadá Pluton and cut cm-thick granite dike swarms. Five with abundant dikes from two different parts of pluton were selected to investigate role patterns evolution residual topography, including morphological features hillslopes. methods included field mapping landforms, structu...

Abstract We report a new zircon U–Pb age of 1257 ± 6 Ma for the Punugodu granite (PG) pluton in Eastern Dharwar Craton (EDC), Southern India. The Mesoproterozoic PG is alkali feldspar hypersolvus emplaced at shallow crustal level, as evident from presence rhyodacite xenoliths and hornfelsic texture developed metavolcanic country rocks Neoarchaean Nellore Schist Belt (NSB). Geochemically, metalu...

Abstract Many porphyry molybdenum deposits are hosted in multi-phase plutons, but it is unclear some how these magmas originated and whether the pluton intruded as fractionated or was by new batches of magma. New mapping has clarified field relationships between units White Pine Mo system Little Cottonwood stock, Utah (western United States), including intrusion, Red porphyry, rhyolite dikes, p...
