Synopsis "archaean geochemistry: the origin and evolution of the archaean continental crust"
Archaean Geochemistry 1972 - 1984 The realisation that the continental crust contains well-preserved relics which date as far back as 4/5 of the Earth's age has given a great impetus to the study of early Precambrian terrains. As late as the mid-sixties the Archaean still constituted the 'terra-in- cognita' of earth science. High metamorphic grades, poor out- crop, and not least a widely assumed obliteration of early crustal records by convective recycling and thermal reworking had com- bined to discourage research in this field. Many excellent local studies existed, notably around gold mining centres, but remained unrelated to a broader regional and theoretical understanding. This situation has changed as the consequence of two inter-related factors: (1) advances in isotopic methods and their application to Precambrian rocks, and (2) the recognition that some of the oldest terrains have retained a wealth of primary igneous and sedi- mentary textures and even geochemical characteristics.
