| | Clarence River Supersuite: Primitive I-Type Granites of Eastern Australia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19) |
 | | The Clarence River Supersuite is one of three late Permian I-type granites supersuites in the New England Batholith of the southern New England Orogen, eastern Australia. |
 | | The broad mineralogical, geochemical and isotopic characteristics of the Clarence River Supersuite granites are very similar to the tonalitic association in the American Cordillera, such as the Peninsular Ranges batholith. |
 | | The mineralogical and geochemical characteristics of the granites of the Clarence River Supersuite, are consistent with their derivation by dehydration-melting of amphibolite in the lower or middle crust at pressures generally less than 0.8 GPa and temperatures of at least 1000° C, leaving a granulitic residue of clinopyroxene, plagioclase and Fe-Ti oxides +/- orthopyroxene. |
