Geochronology and petrogenesis of Middle Permian S-type granitoid in southeastern Guangxi Province, South China: Implications for closure of the eastern Paleo-Tethys

The Bangxi-Chenxing suture zone is an important region to address the history of closure of the eastern Paleo-Tethys ocean. Among the widespread S-type granite batholiths in the SE Guangxi Province adjacent to this suture is the Nali granodiorite. Here we report zircon U–Pb ages, major and trace element geochemistry, and Sr–Nd–Hf isotope geochemistry of a newly found Middle Permian S-type granite in this region. LA-ICP-MS zircon U–Pb...
