“…Biotite-bearing monzogranites are previously considered as crustal transformation-type or S-type granites originated from regional Paleoproterozoic meta-sedimentary rocks that occur in the region (RGNTD, 1985;Li, 1991;Li et al, 2007b). However, some of them are recently classified as fractionationed I-type granites or A-type granites (Zhou and Li, 2000;Ma et al, 2004;Fu et al, 2004a;Bai et al, 2005;Jiang et al, 2005Jiang et al, , 2006Jiang et al, , 2009Jiang et al, , 2011Li et al, 2007e, 2014aHuang et al, 2011;Zhou et al, 2013). All these rocks constitute melts generated in an anorogenic, intraplate environment where regional lithospheric extension occurred in the Early Yanshanian Jiang et al, 2009Jiang et al, , 2011Zhou et al, 2013).…”
