The ~1.08 Ga anorogenic, A-type Pikes Peak batholith (Front Range, central Colorado) is dominated by coarsegrained, biotite±amphibole syenogranites and minor monzogranites, collectively referred to as Pikes Peak granite (PPG). The batholith is also host to numerous small, late-stage plutons that have been subdivided into two groups (e.g. Wobus, 1976. Studies in Colorado Field Geology, Colorado ...

A-type granites are typically formed in stable intra-plate, back-arc or postcollisional settings and characterized by highly ferroan potassic major element compositions, strong enrichment incompatible trace elements. Unlike I-, S- M-type granites, where the letters denote dominant source material (igneous, sedimentary mantle derived), there is no consensus on processes giving rise to magmas. In...

The Lalezar granitoids crop out within volcanic successions of the Urumieh-Dokhtar Magmatic Assemblage (UDMA). These granitoids have a range from gabbro-diorites to granites in composition. The mineral compositions of the most felsic rocks are characterized by the abundances of Na-plagioclase, quartz, alkali feldspar, biotite and hornblende. In the gabbro-diorite rocks, plagioclase (Ca-rich), h...
