Incipient continent formation by shallow melting of an altered mafic protocrust
Abstract Understanding how Earth’s continental nuclei first formed in the Archean eon (4.0–2.5 Ga) underpins our notions of early Earth geodynamics. Yet, the nature of Earth’s early protocrust and the primary mechanism for its transformation are poorly understood, as very ancient rocks preserving pe...
