This study reassesses the development of compositional layering during the growth of granitic plutons, with emphasis on fractional crystallization and its interaction with both injection and inflationrelated deformation. The Dolbel batholith (SW Niger) consists of 14, kilometre-sized plutons emplaced by pulsed magma inputs. Each pluton has a coarse-grained core and a peripheral layered series. ...

– In the North China block, Cretaceous extensional tectonics is expressed by numerous syntectonic plutons bounded by ductile normal faults and several metamorphic core complexes (MCC). Cretaceous half-grabens filled by continental terrigenous deposits are widespread. The examples of MCC from South Liaoning Peninsula, Yiwulüshan, Hohhot as well as the Yunmengshan syntectonic pluton spread along ...

Abstract A detailed geochronological study was conducted on zircons from a diorite sample of the Posets pluton (Axial Zone, Pyrenees). The extracted igneous constrain emplacement to 302 ± 2 Ma and 301 3 Ma, by means U–Pb sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) analyses, respectively. Considering syn- late-tectonic...

Abstract The Arbus igneous complex (SW Sardinia, Italy) represents a good example of short time lived post-collisional composite pluton emplaced at shallow crustal level in the external zone Variscan chain. almost consists granodiorite and leucogranite rock- suites 304 ± 1 Ma within main NW trending thrust separating metamorphic wedge from fold belt foreland. into dilatational step over connect...
