Extreme Nd-isotope heterogeneity in the early Archaean - fact or fiction? Case histories from northern Canada and West Greenland
Sm-Nd data on rock suites from early Archaean provinces in northern Canada and West Greenland clearly demonstrate that tectonothermal (i.e. igneous, metamorphic, tectonic) processes which affected the rocks long after their formation produced open-system behaviour leading to effective resetting of the Sm-Nd system accompanied by complete, or near-complete, Nd-isotope homogenisation. This means ...
متن کاملSm-Nd Isotopic Data and Earth's Evolution.
Samuel A. Bowring and Todd Housh (1) report Sm/Nd isotopic data giving a wide range of initial ENd values, from +3.5 to -4 at 4.0 billion years ago (Ga) and from +4 to -7 at 3.6 Ga. Their samples were from the Acasta gneisses of northern Canada, which represent the oldest known outcrops of continental crust (2). Their modeling of the Sm-Nd isotopic data is taken to suggest that the Acasta grani...
متن کاملA comparison between geochemistry of metapelites of Hindoli and Jahazpur Groups: Two Precambrian low-grade metasedimentary sequences in NW India
The Bundelkhand-Aravalli craton is the most important lithotectonic unit in the central and western India where Paleoproterozoic Aravalli Supracrustal sequence has been deposited over an Archaean basement, the latter also known as the Banded Gneiss Complex (BGC). A NE-trending linear metasedimentary sequence, designated as the Jahazpur Belt occurs along the eastern fringe of the Aravalli Superg...
متن کاملDoes a Heavy Fe-Isotope Composition of Akilia Quartz-Amphibole-Pyroxene Rocks Necessitate a BIF Origin?
The age and origin of the quartz-amphibole-pyroxene (qap) gneiss from the island of Akilia, southern West Greenland, have been the subject of intense debate since the light C-isotope composition of graphite inclusions in apatite was interpreted to indicate the presence of Earth's earliest biological activity. Although this claim for biogenic relicts has been vigorously challenged, the possibili...
متن کاملEffect of Hydrograph Separation on Suspended Sediment Concentration Predictions in a Forested Headwater with Thick Soil and Weathered Gneiss Layers
Two-component hydrograph separation using oxygen-18 concentrations was conducted at a sediment runoff observation weir installed in a small subcatchment of a forested gneiss catchment in Japan. The mean soil thickness of this catchment is 7.27 m, which comprises 3.29 m of brown forest soil (A and B layers) and a 3.98-m layer of heavily weathered gneiss. Data were collected for a storm on 20–21 ...
