Petrogenesis of Jurassic A-type granites associated with Cu-Mo and W-Sn deposits in the central Nanling region, South China: Relation to mantle upwelling and intra-continental extension

The central Nanling region in South China was the site of uplift, extensional deformation, granite magmatism and hydrothermal activity from 180 to 150 Ma. Information on the age, petrological characteristics, major and trace element contents, whole rock Sr and Nd and zircon Hf isotopic compositions of granitic plutons were synthesized to constrain the sources, evolutionary processes, and uplift-cooling rates of intrusions that host Cu–Mo and...
