In both the Strontian and Criffell zoned granitoid plutons, certain chemical elements (notably K, Rb, Ca, Sr and Pb) display a correlation between their concentration in microdiorite enclaves and their concentration in the immediately enclosing host granitic rock. This appears to represent the effects of post-incorporation mixing and exchange between the enclave and its host magma. Enclave initial 87 Sr 86 Sr ratios are indistinguishable from those of the host, while enclave initial 143 Nd 144 Nd ratios are systematically more radiogenic establishing that these enclaves are not melt segregations nor restite. The isotopic data are in agreement with the chemical data in indicating that Sr is almost entirely derived from the host Despite clear evidence of major mass transfer of alkali metals, alkali earths and transition metals, a comparison of the concentrations and ratios of HFSE and REE, and Nd isotopic ratios with those of a number of potential starting protoliths, allows the enclave precursors to be positively discriminated. In this regard enclave HFSE and REE compositions may allow for models of granitoid production by the injection of hot, mantle-derived magmas into the crust to be tested.
