Of these magmatics, the Egrigoz pluton is one of the largest and least-understood plutons in the Menderes Massif. The Egrigoz intrusives are subalkaline, high-K, and calc-alkaline, and have characteristics of I-type granites. They consist mainly of granodiorite and granite. The intrusive rocks show enrichment in LILE and LREE relative to HFSE. Their chondrit-enormalized REE patterns are fractionated and have small negative Eu anomalies. Geochemical characteristics of the Egrigoz pluton indicate an origin through partial melting of mafic lower-crustal source rocks. In western Anatolia, the melt generation mechanism for the intrusive rocks could be crustal extension and uplift following collision.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessSouthern Menderes MassifI-Type GranitoidsCore-ComplexGeochemical ConstraintsNorthwestern AnatoliaTectonic SignificanceGeodynamic EvolutionContinental-CrustAugen GneissesSw TurkeyArticle50437539110.2747/0020-6814.50.4.3752-s2.0-42549086813Q1WOS:000254558000003Q2
