The authors regret to advise that an error was recently discovered in Figure 4C and D, where the x and y values for the modelling mismatch. Specifically, we used 0.2% degree melt for (La/Sm)N and Nb/Zr values but mistakenly kept δ98/95Mo from the 0.5...

Granitoids are the main constituents of the continental crust, and an understanding of their petrogenesis is key to the origin and evolution of continents. Whether crystal fractionation is the dominant way to generate evolved magmas has long been deb...
