TL;DR: The redox state of arc magmas is tracked from mantle source to emplacement in the crust on the basis of copper’s (Cu) affinity for reduced sulfur phases, suggesting that the formation of sulfide-bearing cumulates under reducing conditions may be a critical step in continent formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Petrology and tectonics of Phanerozoic continent formation: From island arcs to accretion and continental arc magmatism
TL;DR: In this article, the Mesozoic continental arcs in the North American Cordillera were examined to establish a baseline model for Phanerozoic continent formation, which allowed the petrogenesis and tectonics of Phanerzoic crust formation to be linked in space and time.
Journal ArticleDOI
High silica granites: Terminal porosity and crystal settling in shallow magma chambers
Cin-Ty A. Lee,Douglas M. Morton +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined a large-scale geochemical study of plutons in the Peninsular Ranges Batholith in southern California (USA) to better understand the petrogenetic relationships between HSGs and the batholith.

Journal ArticleDOI
The Mg isotopic systematics of granitoids in continental arcs and implications for the role of chemical weathering in crust formation
TL;DR: It is shown that granites from the eastern Peninsular Ranges Batholith (PRB) in southern California are isotopically heavy in Mg compared with PRB granodiorites and canonical mantle, indicating that ancient continental crust preserves the isotopic signature of compositional modification by chemical weathering.
