TL;DR: A-type granitoids constitute volumetrically minor but genetically important building blocks of most post-Archean continental landmasses on Earth and their diversified genesis encapsulates key information for ascertaining critical geodynamic controls on continental crustal formation and differentiation as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Zr-in-rutile thermometry was applied to ultra-high-temperature granulites from three localities, Dongpo, Tuguishan, and Dajing/Tuguiwula of the Khondalite belt, North China Craton as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Zircon U-Pb and hornblende 40 Ar/39 Ar dating data have been used in this paper to date the Hercynian Guyang batholith from the northern margin of the North China Craton (NCC), with a variety of lithologies including: gabbro-gabbroic diorite and granodiorite, microgranular magmatic enclaves.

TL;DR: The Taheir tectonic window is located at the southern part of the Yemaquan magmatic arc in East Junggar as discussed by the authors, and it exhibits distinct features of Andean-type continental arc, such as enrichment in Pb, K and U, depletion in Nb, P and Ti, negative Eu anomalies, a high proportion of dacite, rhyolite and andesite of the calc-alkaline series, massive contemporary granitic intrusions, mixtures of the juvenile material and > 2.5"Ga crust, and

TL;DR: The Xiadong mafic-ultramafic complex lies in the central part of the Middle Tianshan Massif (MTM), along the southern margin of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) as discussed by the authors.
