The effects of mafic-felsic magma interaction on magma diversity: insights from an early Paleozoic hornblendite-quartz monzonite suite in the South China block

Understanding the mechanisms responsible for the interplay between mafic and felsic magmas is the key to retrieving information on their sources, and characterizing the exchange of mass between them. In order to characterize compositional and mineralogical changes in the mafic end-member during mafic-felsic magma interaction and to better understand the nature of early Paleozoic intracontinental magmatism in the South China Block (SCB), a...
