The Quaternary Kurobegawa Granite: an example of a deeply dissected resurgent pluton

Abstract The Quaternary Kurobegawa Granite, central Japan, is not only the youngest known granitic pluton exposed on the Earth’s surface, it is one of few localities where both Quaternary volcanics and related plutons are well exposed. Here, we present new zircon U–Pb ages together with whole rock a...
