Key steps in atmospheric evolution occurred in the Archaean.The Hadean atmosphere was created by the inorganic processes of volatile accretion from space and degassing from the interior,and then modified by chemical a...
Using the zircon Pb evaporation method and high precise ion microprobe analyses, zircon isotopic ages in supracrustal magnetite quartzites from Jianping metamorphic complex have been obtained. The results show that th...
The oxygen isotopic data for amphibolites from Archaean continental nucleus, North China Craton indicate that ( i ) the evolving lines structured by the data are parallel to the geoselenic evolving line, which means t...
High-pressure metamorphic eclogite, as a window of study for depth level of lowermost crust and mantle, has an important indicating significance to composition, property and accretion of continental lower crust. Archa...
Geologists have been paying much attention to the characteristics and age of the basement of the Tarim Block. Recently, some isotopic ages for the Precambrian rocks in the margin areas of the Tarim Block have been obt...
A detailed mapping work has revealed that the studied Santunying area, which is about 500 km^2, is dominantly composed of three granulite facies plutonic gneisses, Santunying gneiss, Xiaoguanzhuang gneiss, both Q-dior...

Whether a typical Archaean greenstone belt exists in China is still a question at issue. A lot of researchers firmly believe that the Jiapigou gold mine area situated on the north margin of N. China platform is a typi...
