Petrogenesis and geodynamic implications of Neoproterozoic gabbro-diorites, adakitic granites, and A-type granites in the southwestern margin of the Yangtze Block, South China

The occurrence of A-type granites following adakitic granites can provide unique insights into the tectonic evolution of subduction zone. This paper presents a comprehensive study of zircon U-Pb-Hf isotopes and whole-rock geochemistry on the Neoproterozoic gabbro-diorites, biotite granites, and K-feldspar granites in the southwestern margin of the Yangtze Block, South China. Zircon U-Pb dating of three distinctive intrusions yield concordant...
