Triassic granites in South China: A geochemical perspective on their characteristics, petrogenesis, and tectonic significance

Granitic rocks of Phanerozoic age are common in South China. They are spatially and temporally closely associated with hydrothermal ore deposits. Therefore, many studies have been devoted to these granites regarding their petrogenesis. This study presents a review on the geochemistry of Triassic granites in South China because the Triassic is an important period for the Indosinian orogeny in Southeast Asia. Petrographic investigations indicate...
