Abstract

Felsic leucosome veins are widely distributed in biotite granitic gneiss in the Xitieshan terrane, North Qaidam, western China. The leucosome veins are derived from anatectic magmatites and consist mainly of plagioclase, K-feldspar, quartz and amphibole with minor biotite. Thermobarometric study indicates that the leucosome records granulite-facies metamorphic conditions of P=(6.5-9.6)×10
