Abstract

The Ku’erchu granitic pluton (283±4 Ma) was exposed in the eastern part of the South Tianshan Orogenic Belt. The granites from the intrusion are mainly composed of orthoclase (~45 vol. %), plagioclase (~15 vol. %), quartz (~20 vol. %), muscovite (~10 vol. %) and biotite (~5 vol. %), with accessory minerals including garnet, zircon and Fe-Ti oxide.
