These results demonstrate that different source rocks were systematically involved in melting during successive stages of magmatism in the Mesozoic and Cenozoic. Previous isotopic studies of plutonic rocks in this region suggest that continentally-derived sediments of the miogeocline were the primary magmatic source during Late Cretaceous time.</p>",
