Abstract:

Granitoid clasts preserved in Late Archaean conglomerates indicate the presence of continental crust in Northern Zimbabwe prior to the ≈ 2.7 to ≈ 2.6Ga "event" which terminated with the stabilisation of the Zimbabwe Craton. The "Kober Technique" (Kober, 1986, 1987) of direct thermal ionisation of zircons has been set up in order to investigate the geochronological record preserved in such clasts. Conglomerates were sampled from two localities, Shamva, within the central part of Northern Zimbabwe, and Chinhoyi, at the north-western boundary of the craton. The results from both localities demons

Abstract:

The greenstone belt of Kenya is an extension of what is commonly referred to as the Tanganyika "Shield". The two supracrustal sequences recognized in Kenya are the Nyanzian and the Kavirondian. The rocks found in these sequences are diverse, with dominant volcanics in the Nyanzian, whereas the Kavirondian is predominantly sedimentary. The Nyanzian lavas represent a diverse range from basalts and basaltic andesites, through andesites and dacites to rhyolites. From geochemical studies the basalts and basaltic andesites are tholeiitic, whereas the andesites, dacites and rhyolites are calc-alkalin

The distribution of Archean Nickel sulphide deposits reflects tectonic controls operating during the evolution of the granitoid greenstone terrains. Important deposits of komatiitic-affinity are concentrated within, and adjacent to, younger (∼2.7 Ga), rift-related greenstone belts (e.g. Canada, Western Australia and Zimababwe). Two important classes of Archean Nickel sulphide deposits exist, formerly known as "Dunitic" and "Peridotitic", these are now referred to as Group I and Group II deposits, based on their characteristic structure and composition.

Abstract:

The Archaean craton of southern India has four main components. The multi-phase Peninsular gneiss, with ages from 3360-2900 Ma, is spatially dominant and grades from granulite facies in the south to greenschist facies in the north. Ages for the Peninsular gneiss range from 3360-2900 Ma. Within the craton are two suites of Greenstone Belts and supracrustal rocks. The older, high-grade Sargur type occur as enclaves in the Peninsular gneiss and are in places older than 3360 Ma. The younger, lower-grade type occur occasionally have unconformable bases with the Peninsular gneiss and have been dated

Abstract:

This project investigated the origin of ancient continents (more than 2.5 billion years old) that are often thought to form by shallow melting in the Earth’s mantle. Here, modelling and analysis of rock chemistry show deep melting is much more likely to produce the rocks and minerals observed, including minerals trapped in diamonds. A new formation model for ancient continents is presented that can explain the hottest lavas to ever erupt on Earth, and the association of diamonds with very chemically depleted rocks.

The granitoid rocks were emplaced over a 500 Myr interval and can be divided into two suites. The TTG suite (emplaced ea 3.5 - 3.2 Ga) contains tonalites, trondhjemites and granodiorites, and the GMS suite (emplaced ca 3.2 - 3.1 Ga) includes granodiorites, monzogranites and a small syenite-granite complex. These rocks are important as they hold insights into the source rocks from which they were derived, the restitic materials that must have been produced as a result

Abstract:

This thesis examines the origin and relative timing of carbonate alteration zones in the poly-deformed Doolena Gap Greenstone Belt in the East Pilbara Terrane, the type locality of Archaean dome-and-keel-terranes. The key findings are: [1] shear-assisted carbonate alteration occurred throughout the entire tectonic history of the greenstone belt; and [2] weak pre- and syntectonic carbonate minerals make up 40 to 60% of the examined greenstone rocks. These outcomes imply that carbonate minerals likely controlled the strength of Archaean lithosphere.

The Neoarchaean Agnew-Wiluna greenstone belt (AWB) of the Kalgoorlie Terrane, within the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane (EGS) of the Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia, contains several world-class, komatiite-hosted, nickel-sulphide ore bodies. These are commonly associated with felsic volcanic successions, many of which are considered to have a tonalite-trondhjemite-dacite (TTD) affinity. The Cosmos greenstone sequence lies on the western edge of the AWB and this previously unstudied mineralised volcanic succession contrasts markedly in age, geochemistry, emplacement mechanisms and probable t
