Title: Potassic, High-Silica Hadean Crust.

Abstract

Understanding Hadean(>4 Ga) Earth requires knowledge of its crust. The composition of the crust and volatiles migrating through it directly influence the makeup of the atmosphere, the composition of seawater, and nutrient availability. Despite its importance, there is little known and less agreed upon regarding the nature of the Hadean crust. By analyzing the Sr-87/Sr-86 ratio of apatite inclusions in Archean zircons from Nuvvuagittuq, Canada, we show that its protolith had formed a high (>1) Rb/Sr ratio reservoir by at least 4.2 Ga. This result implies that the early crust had a broad range of igneous rocks, extending from mafic to highly silicic compositions

Geochronology of the deep profile through Archean basement at Vredefort, with implications for early crustal evolution

Journal Article Hart, R.J. ; Welke, H.J. ; Nicolaysen, L.O. - J. Geophys. Res.; (United States)

The presence of Archean granite forming the core of an undomed and overturned sequence of strata at Vredefort, South Africa, has been known for over 70 years. Recent geophysical, geochemical, and geological evidence has given rise to the proposal that the basement granite core has also been overturned, presenting a section of the earth's granitic crust to view and that radial traverses in the Vredefort basement penetrate through a approx.15 km thick section of the Archean crust, when moving from the contact of collar strata to the center of the dome. The upper levels of the Vredefort crust are dominatedmore »« less

Isotopic composition of two Precambrian stratiform barite deposits from the Indian shield

Stratiform barite beds, interlayered with (fuchsite) quartzites and mafic metavolcanics and containing minor disseminations of sulfides, occur in the Archaean (>3.3 Ga) Sargur Group of rocks at Ghattihosahalli, in the state of Karnataka, south India, and near Jagat, within quartzites and metamorphosed flood basalts underlying the middle Proterozoic ({approximately}2.0 Ga) Aravalli Supergroup in the state of Rajasthan, northwest India. The Sargur barites have {delta}{sup 34}S in the range of 4.02 to 7.45{per thousand}. Disseminations of detrital pyrite, occurring in layers in the barite have {delta}{sup 34}S between {minus}3.62 and {minus}5.87{per thousand}.

The Hurd Peak gneiss of the Long Lake shear zone, eastern Sierra Nevada, California

Conference Holland, K.S. ; Reed, W.E. - Geological Society of America, Abstracts with Programs; (United States)

The Hurd Peak gneiss is located within the Long Lake valley of the east-central Sierra Nevada, California. This unit is the principle orthogneiss in Hathaway's (1993) Long Lake shear zone. The rock shows porphyroclasts of plagioclase and quartz, abundant mafic enclaves, and cross-cutting field associations which suggest that the gneiss had a plutonic protolith. The gneiss varies from biotite-poor nearest the contact with the Lamarck to biotite-rich nearest Long Lake. The contact zone between the gneiss and the Lamarck pluton ranges from sharp to gradational and from migmatitic to mixed, i.e., the mixed zone being greater than 50% intermingled dikesmore »« less
