摘要: Anorogenic granites of the Brandberg igneous complex in NW peralkaline formed from highly evolved melts (Eu/Eu <0·1) and melt inclusion analysis arfvedsonite pegmatite Namibia during early Cretaceous rifting continental break-up Gondwana. A metaluminous series [SiO2 = 62–77 indicate that enhanced solubilities an F-rich residual wt %, molar (Na + K)/Al 0·8–0·95] includes could account for observed enrichments high-field strength monzonite body, major biotite–hornblende granite, late biotite granite elements. Compositional variations within group segregations peripheral dykes trachydacite. Volumetrically reflect at least part late-magmatic mineral segregation minor Amis 72–77 hydrothermal overgrowth. 1·0–1·5] intrude main adjacent country rocks. Compared with these are enriched Zr, Nb, Y, U Th.
