Journal ArticleDOI
Trace element discrimination diagrams for the tectonic interpretation of granitic rocks
TL;DR: In this article, a data bank containing over 600 high quality trace element analyses of granites from known settings was used to demonstrate using ORG-normalized geochemical patterns and element-SiO2 plots that most of these granite groups exhibit distinctive trace element characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geochemical characteristics of collision-zone magmatism
TL;DR: The results of a systematic geochemical study of intermediate and acid intrusive rocks from a number of continent-continent collision zones of Phanerozoic age were reported in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Post-collision, shoshonitic volcanism on the Tibetan Plateau: implications for convective thinning of the lithosphere and the source of ocean island basalts
Simon Turner,N. O. Arnaud,J. Liu,Nick Rogers,Chris J. Hawkesworth,Nigel Harris,Simon P. Kelley,P. van Calsteren,W. Deng +8 more
TL;DR: The dominant lavas are pyroxene and plagioclase-phyric shoshonites with subordinate occurrences of dacites and rhyolites as mentioned in this paper, which are characterized by relatively low TiO2, AI2O3 and Fe^Os, and high.A&^Q coupled with variable abundances of compatible trace elements and very high contents of incompatible trace elements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental Constraints on Himalayan Anatexis
TL;DR: In this article, metapelitic rocks from the High Himalayan Crystalline Sequence that are likely sources of leucogranite magmas were shown to be trondhjemitic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Constant elevation of southern Tibet over the past 15 million years
Robert A. Spicer,Nigel Harris,Mike Widdowson,Alexei B. Herman,Shuang-Xing Guo,Paul J. Valdes,Jack A. Wolfe,Simon P. Kelley +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the elevation of the southern Tibetan plateau probably has remained unchanged for the past 15 Myr, similar to the present-day altitude of 4,600 m.
