Geochronology, petrogenesis and tectonic implications of Triassic granitoids from Beishan, NW China

Five Triassic granitic plutons have been identified from the Beishan orogen by zircon U–Pb dating that defines two age groups: 240–238 Ma and 225–217 Ma. They belong to the high-K calc-alkaline and shoshonitic series and have alkalic and alkali-calcic characteristics, and are weakly peraluminous–met...
