The Mesozoic Volcanic-Intrusive Complexes and Their Metallogenic Relations in East China

This book is a systematic summarization of the Mesozoic volcanic-intrusive complexes in East China and their metallogenic relations, based on years of research done by the authors. The book opens with the introduction of time and space distribution of volcanic rocks in East China, followed by a classification of high-potash calc-alkaline series and shoshonite series for volcanics and a discussion on their origins and tectonic settings. An important distinctive feature of this book is the genetic combination of ov volcanic rocks with granitic rocks. On the basis of uniformity of time, space and material source, it is proved that the volcanic-intrusive complexes not only exist but are also widely distributed in this area. Several typical examples of volcanic-intrusive complexes and volcanogenic ore deposits are given, as well as a theoretical clarification of the mechanisms of volcanism and ore-formation. This book provides comprehensive information on Mesozoic volcanic rocks and related metallogeny in East China. It is also useful for comparative study on Mesozoic volcanism and related mineral resources in the circum-Pacific regions.
