In the Ohmine I-type and S-type granitic rocks of Miocene age, Kii peninsula, central Japan, ilmenite, rutile, pyrrhotite, pyrite and chalcopyrite are common, but no magnetite is present. The primary paragenetic relations of these minerals are determined by their modes of occurrence as inclusions within major plagioclase, orthoclase, quartz, hornblende and biotite, although their parageneses changed during cooling. Significant subsolidus reactions for sulfide minerals took place in both the groundmass and the inclusions until the rocks cooled below 300°C. The loss of S and Cu through silicate crystals was too easy to preserve the chemistry of sulfides included in silicates. However, the removal of Ni through silicate crystals as well as along grain boundaries was restricted, as indicated by the fact that the distribution frequency of Ni-bearing pyrrhotite is higher in inclusions than in the groundmass, and significantly higher in I-type cognate enclaves than in host I-type rocks. Nickel-bearing pyrrhotite is common in I-type but rare in S-type rocks, sedimentary enclaves, restates and country rocks. This eliminates the possibility that the Ohmine S-type rocks were formed by interaction of I-type magma and sedimentary rocks or by mixing between I-type and an ideal S-type magmas, as interpreted from the chemistry of biotite and the chronology of these rocks. On the basis of mineralogy, and isotopic data for S, O, Sr, C, and rare gases, it was shown that I-type granitic rocks were derived from partial melting of intermediate igneous rocks containing hornblende and plagioclase and S-type, from partial melting of sedimentary rocks containing biotite and orthoclase.
