The book "Petrogenesis of Palaeozoic Granites - Northeastern Australia" by Laurie Hutton offers a comprehensive examination of the petrogenetic processes that led to the formation of granites in the northeastern region of Australia during the Paleozoic era. It analyzes the geochemical and petrological characteristics of late Neoproterozoic to early Cambrian metasedimentary rocks that are intertwined with I- and S-type granitoids. The study highlights the conditions under which these granitoids formed and provides valuable insights into the geological history of the region. It particularly emphasizes the role of partial melting of the host rocks that led to the formation of S-type granite melts, as well as the intrusive granites that penetrated the region during the middle to late Paleozoic. The geochemical analyses of the granites allow for the identification of hidden basement terrains and the mapping of significant geological contacts between Precambrian and Paleozoic rocks.
