Field, petrographic, geochemical, geochronologic (U/Pb) and Nd isotopic studies of the diverse plutonic rocks in the Tilting area, Fogo Island, NE Newfoundland, were carried out to elucidate the relative roles of crust and mantle in the petrogenesis of this example of Siluro-Devonian magmatism in th...
