Jean-François Moyen analysed the compositional diversity of ancient grey gneisses, including tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite. The work separates groups consistent with different source assemblages and melting pressures.^[ref]

This matters because a broad rock-family label can combine materials formed in different settings. Inferring a tectonic environment requires chemical and mineralogical constraints, not merely recognizing a felsic rock name.
