Petrogenesis and crustal evolution of Hunza Plutonic Unit, Karakoram batholith, NW Pakistan
This study integrates petrographic, geochemical, and geochronological data to characterize the Hunza Plutonic Unit as post-collisional I-type granitoids formed between 21 and 64 Ma, which evolved through fractional crystallization of mantle-derived melts modified by crustal contributions in the Karakoram batholith.
