Geodynamic significance of S-type granites in circum-Pacific orogens
TL;DR: In Phanerozoic circum-Pacific orogenic belts, most "post-collisional" S-type granites and associated high-temperature, low-pressure metamorphic complexes formed during early arc extension as mentioned in this paper.

A hybrid origin for Lachlan S-type granites: the Murrumbidgee Batholith example
TL;DR: In the inferred root zones, the Murrumbucka suite hosts migmatitic metasedimentary and gabbroic rocks, both of which have transitional contacts and show evidence for mafic-felsic interaction with the batholith.

Tectonic setting of kimberlites
TL;DR: Kimberlite ages span the assembly and break-up of a number of supercontinents, such as Rodinia and Gondwana as mentioned in this paper, and their distribution illustrates clustering in time and space.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined 108 samples of andalusite-bearing felsic rocks from more than 40 localities world-wide and found that the majority of them show no textural or chemical evidence suggesting a magmatic origin.
Replenishment, crystal accumulation and floor aggradation in the Megacrystic Kameruka Suite, Australia
TL;DR: In this article, the Kameruka Suite plutons of the Bega Batholith, eastern Australia, were found to have a lower western and upper eastern contact, consistent with a basal granite-migmatite contact and a sharp hornfelsic sidewall contact in the east.
