Two-mica and biotite granites in the Weitra-Nové Hrady area, Austria - Czech Republic

From: Journal of the Czech Geological Society | Date: January 1, 2006| Author: | Copyright information

The South Bohemian Pluton consists, in traditional view, of three major granite suites - the Weinsberg, Eisgarn, and Freistadt suites. In reality, the composition of the pluton is even more complicated than this subdivision would suggest. For instance, in the area among towns of Weitra, Freistadt and Nové Hrady, besides the clearly defined Weinsberg granite, four additional granite types have been distinguished on the basis of their field relations, petrology, whole-rock and isotope geochemistry: (1) medium-grained, locally porphyritic peraluminous two-mica Zofin granite, 324 ± 14 Ma old ...
