“…In addition, a number of Late Archean pyroxenite, gabbro, diorite, granodiorite, and granite plutons intrude the TTG gneisses within the TSTG (Jahn et al, 1988;Cao et al, 1996;Wu et al, 1998); field observations suggest that these later plutons are metamorphosed at lower grades than the gneissic country rocks. Recent SHRIMP zircon U-Pb dating (Table 1) yielded ages between 2535 and 2555 Ma for diorite (Hou et al, 2008;Wang et al, 2009), between 2530 and 2562 Ma, with a mean age of 2536 ± 9 Ma for granites (Shen et al, 2004(Shen et al, , 2007Zhao et al, 2008a; Table 1). Both diorites and granites have similar emplacement ages, suggesting that they have been emplaced at the same time.…”
