TTG and Potassic Granitoids in the Eastern North China Craton: Making Neoarchean Upper Continental Crust during Micro-continental Collision and Post-collisional Extension
As the major component, Archean granitoids provide us with an insight into the formation of the early continental crust. We report the study of a series of Neoarchean granitoids, including tonalite- trondhjemite-granodiorite (TTG) and potassic granitoids, in the Xingcheng region of the eastern North...
