Abstract: Abstract Multiple sulfur isotope variability in Archean sedimentary rocks provides constraints on the composition of the Earth’s earliest atmosphere. The magnitude and sign of mass-independent anomalies reflect not only atmospheric processes, but also transformations due… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gsf.2017.08.003
Abstract: Abstract In the Kaapvaal craton of southern Africa, as well as other Archaean cratons worldwide, the progression from dominant tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite (TTG) to granite-monzogranite-syenogranite (GMS) rock types is interpreted to reflect progressive reworking and differentiation of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.precamres.2019.105380
Abstract: Abstract Accurately dating the formation and modification of Earth’s sub-cratonic mantle still faces many challenges, primarily due to the long and complex history of depletion and subsequent metasomatism of this reservoir. In an attempt to… read more here.

DOI: 10.25131/sajg.123.0019
Abstract: A Palaeoarchaean greenstone fragment and associated granitoid gneisses from an area south of Ulundi in KwaZulu-Natal is described. The fragment consists of an association of garnetiferous amphibolite and calc-silicate that was intruded at 3388 ±… read more here.
