Title: $Reappraisal of the origin of C-type adakitic rocks from East China
Abstract: A comprehensive summary of the definition,mode of occurrence and remaining problems in the studies of C-type adakitic rocks is given in this paper for better understanding the implications of C-type adakite rocks in East China.It is pointed out that C-type adakitic rocks are high-K calc-alkaline and are likely derived from partial melting of intermediate-to high-K meta-andesitic-basaltic rocks under the high pressure condition.Unlike things of O-type adakite,the origin,source rocks and partial melting processes of C-type adakite remain unclear and hence more experimental work may have to be involved in future work.
