Diapirs of crystal-rich slurry explain granite emplacement temperature and duration

Abstract The mechanism, temperature, and timescale of granite intrusion remain controversial, with wide-ranging implications for understanding continental growth, differentiation, rheology, and deformation dynamics. In this paper we present a method for determining intrusion emplacement temperature...
