These monzogranites are typically highly fractionated, rich in potassium, poor in aluminum, and have trace element compositions consistent with remelting of an older tonalitic–trondhjemitic–granodioritic crust.

Carlindi monzogranites in the same greenstone belt are light greyish-pink coloured, with roughly equal parts plagioclase, quartz, and microcline, and small amounts of muscovite and mafic minerals.

[1] In Quebec's near north, early monzogranites are moderately to strongly fractionated, rich in lanthanum, zirconium, but low in ytterbium and yttrium.

The monzogranites are largely composed of quartz, potassium feldspar, plagioclase, and biotite; with small amounts of zircon, monazite, apatite, ilmenite, and muscovite.

[3] Granitoids in the Gabal El-Urf area in eastern Egypt consist of a monzogranite pluton, belonging to the Younger Granite province, emplaced in granodioritic rocks.
