Formation of high δ18O fayalite-bearing A-type granite by high temperature melting of granulitic metasedimentary rocks, southern China

The genesis of A-type granites has been controversial. Fayalite granite is a member of the most reduced A-type granites, commonly thought to have been primarily sourced from tholeiitic rocks. In this paper we report petrography, whole-rock geochemistry, Sr-Nd isotope, and in situ zircon Hf-O isotope...
