Formation of Archean (3600-2500 Ma) continental crust in the Dharwar Craton, southern India

TL;DR: The Dharwar Craton formed by assembly of micro-blocks with independent thermal records and accretionary histories is analyzed in this paper, which provides important insights into building of continents in the Early Earth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Secular change and the onset of plate tectonics on Earth

TL;DR: A review of evidence for paleo-subduction preserved within the geological record, with a focus on metamorphic rocks and the geodynamic information that can be derived from them is provided in this paper.

Paleoproterozoic arc magmatism in the North China Craton: No Siderian global plate tectonic shutdown

TL;DR: In this paper, geochemical, zircon U-Pb geochronology and Lu-Hf isotope data from a suite of magmatic rocks sampled from the region of confluence of two major Paleoproterozoic suture zones in the North China Craton (NCC) were presented.

Neoarchean intra-oceanic arc system in the Western Liaoning Province: Implications for Early Precambrian crustal evolution in the Eastern Block of the North China Craton

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive analysis of the basement terranes in the EB, a late Neoarchean (~ 2.5-2.6 ǫ) intra-oceanic arc system with relict MORB-like basaltic rocks bordering the northwestern margin of the continental nucleus is presented.

Geodynamics of heterogeneous gold mineralization in the North China Craton and its relationship to lithospheric destruction

TL;DR: The North China Craton (NCC) hosts some of the world-class gold deposits on the globe, which can be classified into distinct types as the Jiaodong type, explosive breccia type and skarn type as mentioned in this paper.

Chemical and isotopic systematics of oceanic basalt : implications for mantle composition and processes

S. S. Sun
TL;DR: In this article, trace-element data for mid-ocean ridge basalts and ocean island basalts are used to formulate chemical systematics for oceanic basalts, interpreted in terms of partial-melting conditions, variations in residual mineralogy, involvement of subducted sediment, recycling of oceanic lithosphere and processes within the low velocity zone.
Journal ArticleDOI

Correction of common lead in U-Pb analyses that do not report 204Pb

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a correction method that neither uses 204Pb nor assumes concordance, but uses a numeric solution to a set of equations relating the content of radiogenic lead in a zircon or other U/Th-enriched mineral to its total lead content.
