4+ day, 7+ hour ago (469+ words) DEM map of the study area. Syn- to post-orogenic granitoids intrude the older basement, ranging from syn-tectonic tonalites and granodiorites (c. 650-610 Ma) to post-tectonic alkali feldspar granites (c. 600-550 Ma). The latter include peralkaline and highly fractionated varieties enriched in rare earth elements…...
