Some examples of deep structure of the Archean from geophysics [PDF]
The development of Archean crust remains as one of the significant problems in earth science, and a major unknown concerning Archean terrains is the nature of the deep crust.

Earth science field work: Role and status [PDF]
, 1988 This essay contends that the outstanding contributions currently being made to the earth sciences by theoretical and laboratory endeavors increase rather than decrease the need for sound field observations.

Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The integrated analysis of lithofacies, mineralogy and geochemistry of the hemipelagic marine succession exposed in La Cerradura section (South‐Iberian Palaeomargin) provides new information to characterise the palaeoenvironmental conditions during the latest Pliensbachian to early Toarcian, including the Jenkyns Event.

A tale of two microbialites: Stromatolites and microbially induced sedimentary structures
Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Microbialites are biosedimentary structures built by microbial mats. Five microbialite groups are distinguished: stromatolites, thrombolites, dendrolites, leiloites and microbially induced sedimentary structures (MISS). This contribution discusses the two most abundant microbialite groups in marine settings, stromatolites and MISS.

Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Paleoarchean Antarctic Creek Member of the Mount Ada Basalt, Eastern Pilbara Terrane, Western Australia, includes beds of jasper and white chert composed of sand‐sized silica granules that often contain or are mixed with silt‐sized particles of haematite.

Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Microbially induced sedimentary structures (MISS) are considered important for understanding primitive life on Earth and for guiding the search for life on other planets. These structures are regarded as macroscopic fossils of early communities of unicellular organisms that did not produce skeletons or shells. In this study, field observations

Terra Nova, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Paleoproterozoic Talvivaara mudstone is a very large sulfidic Ni‐Co deposit that records enhanced organic matter accumulation during the global Shunga Event. Here, rock geochemistry and microscale S and Fe isotope composition of in situ pyrrhotites and pyrites are studied in well‐characterised, well‐preserved drill core samples.

Ductile Extrusion Triggered by Continental Collision in NE Brazil
Terra Nova, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Borborema Province in northeastern Brazil hosts one of the world's largest strike‐slip shear zone networks, active during the late Neoproterozoic assembly of West Gondwana. Whether these shear zones initiated during active continental collision or as a post‐orogenic response to far‐field stresses remains debated.
