Abstract
This paper is dedicated to the interpretation of isotope-geochemical data on high Sr-Ba granitoids exemplified by their typical representatives—Late Miocene laccoliths of the Caucasian Mineral Waters (CMW). These massifs are made up of amphibole granites, granosyenites, syenites, and leucogranites, which show particular behavior of Sr, Nd, and O isotope systems. The syenites and granosyenites are characterized by δ18O variations from 8 to 10‰. As compared to them, the amphibole granites have lowered (up to 7‰), while leucogranites, elevated (up to 12.5–13.7‰) oxygen isotope compositions. The (87Sr/86Sr)8.3 ratio in the granitoids accounts for 0.7083–0.7086, whereas σNd(T) varies from −4.2 to −2.1.
