Origin of reverse compositional and textural zoning in granite plutons by localized thermal overturn of stratified magma chambers

This study integrates gravimetry and thermal modelling with petrology, U–Th–Pb monazite and zircon geochronology and whole-rock geochemistry of the early Carboniferous Říčany Pluton, Bohemian Massif, in order to discuss the origin of compositional and textural zoning in granitic plutons and complex histories of horizontally stratified, multiply replenished magma chambers. The pluton consists of two coeval, nested biotite (–muscovite) granite...
