Crustal growth and reworking of the eastern North China Craton: Constraints from the age and geochemistry of the Neoarchean Taishan TTG gneisses

The Taishan Complex is located in the central part of the eastern North China Craton (NCC), and preserves extensive Neoarchean TTG gneisses and potassic granitoids. Their formation age, geochemical features and petrogenesis can provide important insights into understanding the crustal growth and reworking events involving in the evolution of the craton. Previous studies were mainly focused on geochronology of these Neoarchean rock assemblages,...
