Abstract
The tectonic and geochemical characteristics suggest that the plagiogranites exposed in the vicinity of Bingdaban on the northern margin of the central Tianshan uplift zone show a distinct mantle-source character, and their enrichment in LREE and selected enrichment in LILE (large ion lithophile elements) reflect a setting related to an arc tectonic regime. These rocks represent the products formed at shallow levels from mantle-derived magmas modified with subduction components (or super crustal rocks).
