Three stages to form a large batholith after terrane accretion – An example from the Svecofennian orogen
2016, Precambrian ResearchCitation Excerpt :Different geochemical series are formed if the accreting terranes have different compositions. If oceanic crust is involved (i.e. oceanic arc or plateau) the magmas form tholeiitic series and if continental crust is involved (i.e. island arc or old continental block) the magmas form calc-alkaline series (Defant and Drummond, 1990; Defant and Nielsen, 1990; Marsh, 2015; Stein and Ben-Avraham, 2015). In post-accretion events, the partial melts of the mafic crust or the fractionation of the differentiated mantle-derived mafic magmas may form alkaline series (Collins et al., 1982; Turner et al., 1992; Frost et al., 2001; Moyen and Martin, 2012).
