Evolution of the early to late Archean mantle from Hf-Nd-Ce isotope systematics in basalts and komatiites from the Pilbara Craton

E. Hasenstab et al.

Summary: Through isotope analysis of rock samples from the Pilbara Craton and Fortescue Group in Australia, researchers found that mantle-crust differentiation may have started as early as about 4.2 billion years ago, prior to any preserved stratigraphy. Additionally, isotope data suggest that the composition of the Earth is broadly chondritic.

A petrochronology window into near-surface fluid/rock interaction within Archaean ultramafic-mafic crust: Insights from the 3.25 Ga Stolzburg Complex, Barberton Greenstone Belt

Robert Bolhar et al.

Summary: The Stolzburg Complex is an early Archaean ultramafic-mafic layered complex located on the eastern Kaapvaal Craton. Analysis of zircon and titanite indicates a formation age of around 3.25 billion years ago, with evidence of significant post-emplacement hydrothermal fluid interaction.

Trace Element Contents of Mantle-Derived Magmas Through Time

Stephen J. Barnes et al.

Summary: The research reveals that trace element patterns in mafic and ultramafic magmas have varied over time and are similar to baseline data sets representing modern tectonic settings. This suggests a gradual decrease in crustal influence on magmas from the Archean to the Phanerozoic Earth. Additionally, plume sources may have been depleted in the Archean Earth and enriched in the Phanerozoic Earth.

Oxygen isotopes trace the origins of Earth's earliest continental crust

Robert H. Smithies et al.

Summary: The research identified two different types of TTG using variations in zircon oxygen isotope composition and whole-rock geochemistry. Primitive TTGs containing high levels of sodium do not require a source highly enriched in incompatible trace elements, while evolved TTGs need sources enriched in water from the hydrosphere and incompatible trace elements.
