Post-Archean granitic rocks: contrasting petrogenetic processes and tectonic environments

Abstract

Granitic rocks represent a ubiquitous component of upper continental crust but their origin remains highly controversial. This controversy stems from the fact that the granites may result from fractionation of mantle-derived basaltic magmas or partial melting of different crustal protoliths at contrasting pressure–temper- ature conditions, either water-fluxed or fluid-absent. Consequently, many different mechanisms have been pro- posed to explain the compositional variability of granites ranging from whole igneous suites down to mineral scale. This Special Publication presents an overview of the state of the art and envisages future avenues towards a better understanding of granite petrogenesis.
