A detailed study utilizing zircon U–Pb dating, major and trace element geochemistry, and Sr–Nd–Hf isotope geochemistry has been carried out for the Caijiang granite in Jiangxi Province and the Gaoxi granite in Fujian Province, South China. The new data indicate that the Caijiang and Gaoxi granites a...
