Abstract:
This paper presents new data of the highly evolved part of the Highiș Granitoid Suite. Two types of texture represent the suite: equigranular, medium-grained leucogranites and aplite veins. Main rock forming minerals are quartz, orthoclase, microcline, plagioclase feldspar, biotite and muscovite. Based on geochemical investigations which were performed on both selected mineral phases and whole rock composition the Highiș Granitoids from Păuliș are S-type, felsic-peraluminous alkali granites, with alkali-calcic character, formed in post-collisional (postorogenic) tectonical setting, mainly from metasedimentary source.
