Non‐enzymatic glycolysis and pentose phosphate pathway‐like reactions in a plausible Archean ocean

open access: yesMolecular Systems Biology, 2014
The reaction sequences of central metabolism, glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway provide essential precursors for nucleic acids, amino acids and lipids. However, their evolutionary origins are not yet understood.

Quench Plagioclase from some Archean Basalts

open access: yes, 1974
Quench plagioclase has been recognized in well preserved Archean submarine basalts from four localities in the superior province of the Canadian Shield. The crystals are skeletal in form with hollow cross sections and swallow tail terminations.

An archean suture zone in the Tobacco Root Mountains? (1984) Evolution of Archean Continental Crust, SW Montana (1985) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1985
The Lake Plateau area of the Beartooth Mountains, Montana were mapped and geochemically sampled. The allochthonous nature of the Stillwater Complex was interpreted as a Cordilleran-style continental margin.

Geochemical environments of the Archean-Proterozoic

open access: yesДоклады Академии наук, 2019
In the Precambrian section, there is a change of Archean calcite carbonate rocks to magnesia and ferrous in the Proterozoic. This is correlated with the massive development of cyanobacteria, the absorption of which carbon dioxide and the generation of oxygen, led to a change in the acidic reduction conditions of Archaean alkaline oxidizing in the ...

The structural relationship between Archean granite–greenstone terrains and late Archean mafic dikes

open access: yes, 1978
Examples of Archean shield areas from Canada and Australia are used to demonstrate a consistent orthogonality in trend between late Archean mafic dikes (~2.5 Ga old) and the structure of granite–greenstone terrains whose orogenic history terminated no ...

Archean-Paleoproterozoic crustal evolution of the Ordos Block in the North China Craton: Constraints from zircon U-Pb geochronology and Hf isotopes for gneissic granitoids of the basement

open access: yes, 2015
The Ordos Block has been considered as an Archean micro-block in North China Craton. However, its formation and evolution are poorly understood for a long time due to lack of available basement rocks.

Images of a lower-crustal oceanic slab: Direct evidence for tectonic accretion in the Archean western Superior province

open access: yes, 2003
The Archean western Superior province in Canada is the type area for proposed Archean plate tectonics. Seismic images from this region provide direct evidence for assembly of the craton by terrane accretion and for a large slab of remnant oceanic crust ...

Strongly Peraluminous Granites across the Archean–Proterozoic Transition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Strongly peraluminous granites (SPGs) form through the partial melting of metasedimentary rocks and therefore represent archives of the influence of assimilation of sedimentary rocks on the petrology and chemistry of igneous rocks.

Archean bimodal volcanism

open access: yes, 1985
Field, petrographic, and chemical evidence from several areas of the Superior Province suggest that many Archean volcanic successions are bimodal, involving an early tholeiitic basaltic-andesitic magma and a later dacitic-rhyolitic magma.
