Received: 27 May 2018; Accepted: 30 July 2018; Published: 3 August 2018 Abstract: Zircon U–Pb dating and Hf isotopic analyses are performed on clastic rocks, sedimentary tuff of the Dongchuan Group (DCG), and a diabase, which is an intrusive body from the base of DCG in the SW Yangtze Block. The results provide new constraints on the Precambrian basement and the Late Paleoproterozoic to Mesoproterozoic tectonic evolution of the SW Yangtze Block, South China. DCG has been divided into four formations from the bottom to the top: Yinmin, Luoxue, Heishan, and Qinglongshan. The Yinmin Formation, which represents the oldest rock unit of DCG, was intruded by a diabase dyke. The oldest zircon age of the clastic rocks from the Yinmin Formation is 3654 Ma, with "Hf(t) of −3.1 and a two-stage modeled age of 4081 Ma. Another zircon exhibits an age of 2406 Ma, with "Hf(t) of −20.1 and a two-stage modeled age of 4152 Ma.

  • VAALBARA and TECTONIC EFFECTS of a MEGA IMPACT in the EARLY ARCHEAN 3470 Ma
    Large Meteorite Impacts (2003) 4038.pdf VAALBARA AND TECTONIC EFFECTS OF A MEGA IMPACT IN THE EARLY ARCHEAN 3470 Ma T.E. Zegers and A. Ocampo European Space Agency, ESTEC, SCI-SB, Keplerlaan 1, 2201 AZ Noordwijk, [email protected] Abstract The oldest impact related layer recognized on Earth occur in greenstone sequences of the Kaapvaal (South Africa) and Pilbara (Australia) Craton, and have been dated at ca. 3470 Ma (Byerly et al., 2002). The simultaneous occurrence of impact layers now geographically widely separated have been taken to indicate that this was a worldwide phenomena, suggesting a very large impact: 10 to 100 times more massive than the Cretaceous-Tertiary event. However, the remarkable lithostratigraphic and chronostratigraphic similarities between the Pilbara and Kaapvaal Craton have been noted previously for the period between 3.5 and 2.7 Ga (Cheney et al., 1988). Paleomagnetic data from two ultramafic complexes in the Pilbara and Kaapvaal Craton showed that at 2.87 Ga the two cratons could have been part of one larger supercontinent called Vaalbara. New Paleomagnetic results from the older greenstone sequences (3.5 to 3.2 Ga) in the Pilbara and Kaapvaal Craton will be presented. The constructed apparent polar wander path for the two cratons shows remarkable similarities and overlap to a large extent. This suggests that the two cratons were joined for a considerable time during the Archean. Therefore, the coeval impact layers in the two cratons at 3.47 Ga do not necessarily suggest a worldwide phenomena on the present scale of separation of the two cratons.

Of the ~35 remaining large cratonic fragments, the Superior craton represents one of the larger and better preserved fragments and was a central and defining piece of supercraton Superia [1]. This supercraton, the full extent of which remains to be determined, underwent progressive rifting and breakup during the Paleoproterozoic, spawning ~10 cratonic fragments that were dispersed by plate tectonic movements. Previous work already has shown that Wyoming, “greater Karelia” (i.e. Karelia+Kola), Hearne and a number of other cratons were integral parts of supercraton Superia [e.g., 2, 3]. Specifically, Wyoming craton and Hearne, and “greater Karelia” are fragments that rifted off the southern Superior craton (present reference frame). New work argues that the Kaapvaal craton of southern Africa (and therefore also Pilbara, as part of Vaalbara) was another integral part of Superia, representing the fragment that originated from the re- entrant to the southwest of a combined Superior-Wyoming. A new paleomagnetic interpretation, across more than one time slice, is fully compatible with this interpretation.

  • Plate Tectonics on Early Earth? Weighing the Paleomagnetic Evidence
    spe440-12 3rd pages The Geological Society of America Special Paper 440 2008 Plate tectonics on early Earth? Weighing the paleomagnetic evidence David A.D. Evans* Department of Geology & Geophysics, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut 06520-8109, USA Sergei A. Pisarevsky* School of GeoSciences, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh EH9 3JW, Scotland, UK ABSTRACT Paleomagnetism is the only quantitative method available to test for lateral motions by tectonic plates across the surface of ancient Earth. Here, we present several analyses of such motions using strict quality criteria from the global paleomagnetic database of pre–800 Ma rocks. Extensive surface motion of cratons can be documented confi dently to older than ca. 2775 Ma, but considering only the most reliable Archean data, we cannot discern differential motion from true polar wander (which can also generate surface motions relative to the geomagnetic reference frame). In order to fi nd evidence for differential motions between pairs of Precambrian cratons, we compared distances between paleomagnetic poles through precisely isochronous intervals for pairs of cra- tons. The existing database yields several such comparisons with ages ranging from ca. 1110 to ca. 2775 Ma. Only one pair of these ages, 1110–1880 Ma, brackets signifi cantly different apparent polar wander path lengths between the same two cratons and thus demonstrates differential surface motions. If slightly less reliable paleomagnetic results are considered, however, the number of comparisons increases dramatically, and an example is illustrated for which a single additional pole could constrain differential cratonic motion into the earliest Paleoproterozoic and late Neoarchean (in the interval 2445–2680 Ma).

Bumbya a Department of Geology, University of Pretoria, Pretoria 0002, South Africa b Department of Geology, University of Leicester, University Road, Leicester LE1 7RH c Geological Studies Unit and Fluvial Mechanics Laboratory, Indian Statistical Institute, 203 B.T. Road, Kolkata 700 108, India _____________________________________________________________ Abstract The application of the onset of supercontinentality, the “Great Oxidation Event” (GOE) and the first global-scale glaciation in the Neoarchaean-Palaeoproterozoic as panacea-like events providing a framework or even chronological piercing points in Earth’s history at this time, is questioned. There is no solid evidence that the Kaapvaal craton was part of a larger amalgamation at this time, and its glacigenic record is dominated by deposits supporting the operation of an active hydrological cycle in parallel with glaciation, thereby arguing against the “Snowball Earth Hypothesis”. While the Palaeoproterozoic geological record of Kaapvaal does broadly support the GOE, this postulate itself is being questioned on the basis of isotopic data used as oxygen-proxies, and sedimentological data from extant river systems on the craton argue for a prolongation of the greenhouse palaeo-atmosphere (possibly in parallel with a relative elevation of oxygen levels) which presumably preceded the GOE. The possibility that these widespread events may have been diachronous at the global scale is debated.

  • A History of Supercontinents on Planet Earth
    By Alasdair Wilkins Jan 27, 2011 2:31 PM 47,603 71 Share A history of supercontinents on planet Earth Earth's continents are constantly changing, moving and rearranging themselves over millions of years - affecting Earth's climate and biology. Every few hundred million years, the continents combine to create massive, world-spanning supercontinents. Here's the past and future of Earth's supercontinents. The Basics of Plate Tectonics If we're going to discuss past and future supercontinents, we first need to understand how landmasses can move around and the continents can take on new configurations. Let's start with the basics - rocky planets like Earth have five interior levels: heading outwards, these are the inner core, outer core, mantle, upper mantle, and the crust. The crust and the part of the upper mantle form the lithosphere, a portion of our planet that is basically rigid, solid rock and runs to about 100 kilometers below the planet's surface. Below that is the asthenosphere, which is hot enough that its rocks are more flexible and ductile than those above it. The lithosphere is divided into roughly two dozen major and minor plates, and these plates move very slowly over the almost fluid-like asthenosphere. There are two types of crust: oceanic crust and continental crust. Predictably enough, oceanic crust makes up the ocean beds and are much thinner than their continental counterparts. Plates can be made up of either oceanic or continental crust, or just as often some combination of the two. There are a variety of forces pushing and pulling the plates in various directions, and indeed that's what keeps Earth's crust from being one solid landmass - the interaction of lithosphere and asthenosphere keeps tearing landmasses apart, albeit very, very slowly.

  • The Vaalbara Hypotheses Reviewed 1Evans, D.A.D
    THE VAALBARA HYPOTHESES REVIEWED 1EVANS, D.A.D., 2MARTIN, D.McB., 2NELSON, D.R., 1POWELL, C.McA., and 1WINGATE, M.T.D. 1Tectonics Special Research Centre, The University of Western Australia, Nedlands, WA, 6907, Australia; 2Geological Survey of Western Australia, Mineral House, 100 Plain St., East Perth, WA, 6004, Australia. Summary present northern Pilbara with eastern Kaapvaal (figure 2b). The The present outlines of Archean cratons commonly show Zegers et al. (1998) Vaalbara model proposes amalgamation by truncation of tectonostratigraphic features, so that wider original 3.1 Ga but perhaps as early as 3.6 Ga, and fragmentation before extents can be inferred. The Kaapvaal and Pilbara cratons share 2.05 Ga. According to isotopic ages alone, a shorter-duration similar 3.6–1.7 Ga geological histories and may have been joined “Zimvaalbara” is suggested by Aspler and Chiaranzelli (1998), for all or part of that interval. Asymmetry of Paleoproterozoic who attributed the widespread 2.8–2.7-Ga igneous activity on foldbelts and coeval foreland basins on both cratons provide Kaapvaal and Pilbara to incipient breakup (also considered by additional, qualitative constraints upon possible reconstructions. Zegers et al., 1998). Although the most reliable paleomagnetic data from ca. 2.8 Ga appear to rule out a direct or even indirect connection at that time, the succeeding billion years’ history lacks pairs of simultaneous and reliable paleomagnetic poles from both blocks, leaving the Paleoproterozoic existence of Vaalbara open to speculation. Introduction Neoarchean and Paleoproterozoic stratigraphic similarities between the Kaapvaal craton in southern Africa, and the Pilbara craton in Western Australia, are so striking that a direct paleogeographic connection during that interval has been proposed and coined “Vaalbara” (Cheney, 1996).

  • 125 Paleomagnetic Study of the Mesoproterozoic
    PALEOMAGNETIC STUDY OF THE MESOPROTEROZOIC SATAKUNTA DYKE SWARM, FINLAND, WITH IMPLICATIONS FOR A NORTHERN EUROPE – NORTH AMERICA (NENA) CONNECTION WITHIN NUNA SUPERCONTINENT Johanna Salminen1, Satu Mertanen2 and David Evans3 1. Department of Physics, Division of Geophysics and Astronomy, University of Helsinki, Finland 2. Geological Survey of Finland, South Finland Unit, Espoo, Finland 3. Department of Geology and Geophysics, Yale University, New Haven, USA Paleoproterozoic supercontinent Nuna (Columbia, Hudsonland) has been suggested by several studies. Many recent reconstructions of this supercontinent are based on assumption that the core of Nuna was formed by the united Baltica and Laurentia cratons forming the NENA (Northern Europe – North America) configuration that lasted from 1.8 Ga to at least 1.26 Ga. However, recent 1.6 Ga data from Greenland appear to challenge this fit (Halls et al., 2011). Our new data from the Mesoproterozoic (1565 Ma) diabase dyke swarm in Satakunta, western Finland, provides new paleomagnetic evidence to test the NENA configuration. From the Satakunta dykes a dual-polarity, high-stability remanence component was obtained and it was confirmed to be primary by several baked contact tests. A suite of rock-magnetic analyses demonstrates that pseudo-single domain magnetite is the remanence carrier. The combined mean remanence direction for both polarities is D = 8.3°, I = 6.5° ( 95 = 5.9°), yielding a new key paleomagnetic pole for Baltica at 32.7°N, 188.7°E (A95 = 4.2°). This pole fulfills six out of seven van der Voo factors. Based on the reconstruction by using the new Satakunta pole and the nearly coeval (1592 Ma) Western Channel Diabase pole from Laurentia (Irving, 1972; Hamilton and Buchan, 2010), the NENA fit existed at 1.57-1.59 Ga.

D. EVANS Department of Geology & Geophysics, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06520-8109, USA (e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract: Palaeomagnetic apparent polar wander (APW) paths from the world’s cratons at 1300–700 Ma can constrain the palaeogeographic possibilities for a long-lived and all-inclusive Rodinia supercontinent. Laurentia’s APW path is the most complete and forms the basis for super- position by other cratons’ APW paths to identify possible durations of those cratons’ inclusion in Rodinia, and also to generate reconstructions that are constrained both in latitude and longitude relative to Laurentia. Baltica reconstructs adjacent to the SE margin of Greenland, in a standard and geographically ‘upright’ position, between c. 1050 and 600 Ma. Australia reconstructs adja- cent to the pre-Caspian margin of Baltica, geographically ‘inverted’ such that cratonic portions of Queensland are juxtaposed with that margin via collision at c. 1100 Ma. Arctic North America reconstructs opposite to the CONgo þ Sa˜o Francisco craton at its DAmaride–Lufilian margin (the ‘ANACONDA’ fit) throughout the interval 1235–755 Ma according to palaeomag- netic poles of those ages from both cratons, and the reconstruction was probably established during the c.
