“…Zircon trace element composition has been used as a key in granite typological studies (e.g., Wang et al, 2012;Breiter et al, 2014;Sawaki et al, 2017). In A-type granites, zircon is characterized by relatively high Ce, Nb, Ta, U, Th, Hf and Y and low Sr and Eu contents, among other elements (Breiter et al, 2014;Sawaki et al, 2017). The analyzed CRB zircon (n = 2, facies I) register high Hf (up to 7,158 ppm), Y (up to 1634 ppm), Th (up to 214 ppm), and U (up to 120 ppm), and low Sr contents (0.4 ppm) ( Figure 8A).…”
