Abstract
Tonalites are quite widespread in the Archean and in the lower continental crust, and are considered to be products of partial melting of basic protoliths, and important source rocks for the generation of granodiorites and granites (Rutter and Wyllie 1988; Skjerlie and Johnston 1992). In spite of their enormous significance and widespread occurrence, there have been relatively few experimental investigations on the tonalite system.
