Petrogenesis of Mesozoic granitoids and volcanic rocks in south China : a response to tectonic evolution.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed that these rocks were formed in time and space as a response to regional tectonic regime change from the continent-continent collision of the Indosinian orogeny within the broad Tethyan orogenic domain in the Early Mesozoic (T1-T3) (Period I) to the largely extensional setting as a result of the Yanshanian Orogeny genetically associated with the NW-WNW-ward subduction of the paleo-Pacific oceanic lithosphere in the Late Mesozooric (J

Magmatic evolution and crustal recycling for Neoproterozoic strongly peraluminous granitoids from southern China: Hf and O isotopes in zircon
Xiao-Lei Wang,Xiao-Lei Wang,Jin-Cheng Zhou,Yu-Sheng Wan,Kouki Kitajima,Di Wang,Chloë E. Bonamici,Jiansheng Qiu,Tao Sun +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a negative correlation of Th/U versus d 18 O is found for most analyses, indicating a dramatic shift toward higher oxygen isotope values by voluminous partial melting of supracrustal rocks and signaling a transition from I-type to S-type-like magmas during the later stage of magmatic evolution.

Trace elements, U–Pb ages and Hf isotopes of zircons from Mesozoic granites in the western Nanling Range, South China: Implications for petrogenesis and W–Sn mineralization
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed study on trace elements, U-Pb ages and Lu-Hf isotopes in zircons from the Mesozoic A2-type like granitoids (including the Qianlishan, Qitianling, Xianghualing, Huashan, Guposhan, Niumiao, Tong'an, Jinziling and Jinjiling Plutons) is presented.

Strongly peraluminous granites of Mesozoic in Eastern Nanling Range, southern China: Petrogenesis and implications for tectonics
TL;DR: The strongly peraluminous granites (SPGs) of the Eastern Nanling Range (ENR) are a characteristic of all bearing highly aluminous minerals, such as muscovite Alrich biotite tourmaline garnet, and lack of cordierite as mentioned in this paper.

Influence of radiation damage on Late Jurassic zircon from southern China: Evidence from in situ measurements of oxygen isotopes, laser Raman, U-Pb ages, and trace elements
Xiao-Lei Wang,Xiao-Lei Wang,Matthew A. Coble,John W. Valley,Xu-Jie Shu,Kouki Kitajima,Michael J. Spicuzza,Tao Sun +7 more
TL;DR: The influence of radiation damage on chemical alteration and in situ elemental and isotopic analyses in zircons is evaluated in three ~155-Ma granites that are associated with W-Sn polymetallic deposits in the Nanling area of southern China as discussed by the authors.
