granitization

In 1953 he specialized in granitization.

The consolidation of the Iranian basement by metamorphism, partial granitization and partly by intense folding took place in the Late Precambrian.

Ensimatic accumulation of volcanic components is favoured with derivation of gneissic (granitic) components by ensuing metamorphic differentiation and granitization processes.

Granitization of the older sedimentary-volcogenic sequence are reported as sources of the peninsular gneisses made up of polyphase migmatites, gneisses and granites ranging in composition from granodiorite to tonalite.

An old, and largely discounted theory, granitization states that granite is formed in place by extreme metasomatism by fluids bringing in elements, e.g. potassium, and removing others, e.g. calcium, to transform the metamorphic rock into a granite.
