Early Devonian Slab Melting of the Proto-Tethys Ocean: Insights from Adakitic Granitoids in the Jiayuguan Area, Hexi Corridor (NW China) by Qigui Mao, Wenjiao Xiao, Rui Li, Songjian Ao, Dongfang Song, Miao Sang, Hao Wang, Zhou Tan

“…In order to further constrain this issue, we explore geology, chronology, geochemistry, and isotopes of three newly discovered Early Devonian adakitic granitoids of the Jiayuguan complex in the North Qilian orogen, NW China. The granitoids exhibit typical adakitic geochemical signatures with high SiO2 (>56%), Na, Al, and Sr contents, depleted in Yb and Y, and high Sr/Y (82–277) and (La/Yb)N (7.65–15.16) values. …”
