Early Permian Syn-Subduction Extension in the South Tianshan (NW China): Insights From A-Type Granitoids in the Southern Altaids

A-type granite is an important geodynamic indicator because it requires a high melting temperature that is commonly driven by extensional events. Here we report geochronology, whole-rock geochemistry, and zircon Lu-Hf isotopes of newly identified A-type granitic rocks from the South Tianshan in the...
