Abstract:
If we accept that a critical condition for plate tectonics is the creation and maintenance of a global network of narrow boundaries separating multiple plates, then to argue for plate tectonics during the Archean requires more than a local record of subduction. A case is made for plate tectonics back to the early Paleoproterozoic, when a cycle of breakup and collision led to formation of the supercontinent Columbia, and bimodal metamorphism is registered globally. Before this, less preserved crust and survivorship bias become greater concerns, and the geological record may yield only a lower limit on the emergence of plate tectonics. Higher mantle temperature in the Archean precluded or limited stable subduction, requiring a transition to plate tectonics from another tectonic mode. This transition is recorded by changes in geochemical proxies and interpreted based on numerical modeling. Improved understanding of the secular evolution of temperature and water in the mantle is a key target for future research. ▪ Higher mantle temperature in the Archean precluded or limited stable subduction, requiring a transition to plate tectonics from another tectonic mode. ▪ Plate tectonics can be demonstrated on Earth since the early Paleoproterozoic (since c. 2.2 Ga), but before the Proterozoic Earth's tectonic mode remains ambiguous. ▪ The Mesoarchean to early Paleoproterozoic (3.2–2.3 Ga) represents a period of transition from an early tectonic mode (stagnant or sluggish lid) to plate tectonics. ▪ The development of a global network of narrow boundaries separating multiple plates could have been kick-started by plume-induced subduction.

Abstract:
Granitoids form the bulk of the Archean continental crust and preserve key information on early Earth evolution. India hosts five main Archean cratonic blocks (Aravalli, Bundelkhand, Singhbhum, Bastar and Dharwar). This book summarizes the available information on Archean granitoids of Indian cratons. The chapters cover a broad spectrum of themes related to granitoid typology, emplacement mechanism, petrogenesis, phase-equilibria modelling, temporal distribution, tectonic setting, and their roles in fluid evolution, metal delivery and mineralizations. The book presents a broader picture incorporating regional- to cratons-scale comparisons, implications for Archean geodynamic processes, and temporal changes thereof. This synthesis work, integrating modern concepts on granite petrology and crustal evolution, offers an irreplaceable body of reference information for any geologist interested in Archean Indian granitoids.

Abstract:
Some basic questions about Archean plate tectonics can be addressed by examining accretionary Archean margins, in particular fault zones with significant strike-slip components on the Canadian Shield. (1) Were the oceanic plates typically rigid like modern plates? Yes. Significant lateral viscosity contrasts in the lithosphere between plates and plate boundaries are required for major strike-slip faults to exist. Conversely, strike-slip faults are a kinematic consequence of rigid plates. (2) Did large oceanic plates exist in the Archean? Probably. First, the length and offset of the longest preserved segments of Archean faults are similar to modern examples such as in Alaska. Less directly, the duration of a period with a consistent sense of strike slip at a point on the continental side of an accretionary margin should be related to the time that a typical oceanic plate remains outboard of the margin. This time varies proportionally with size of typical ocean plates and inversely with their velocity. The duration of an example of persistent strike slip on the Canadian Shield is comparable to that of Cenozoic examples. (3) Did old oceanic crust and hence moderate plate velocities occur in the Archean? Perhaps. Paleomagnetic poles are the most direct line of evidence, but they usually relate to continental blocks. The duration of consistent strike-slip motion, preserved alkalic seamounts which record eruption on old oceanic crust, and the duration of ocean basins are potential indirect indications. Overall, the hotter mantle does not appear to have had a great effect on Archean plate motions. Thus, the geometry and rate of plate tectonics are strongly influenced by the lithosphere.

Abstract:
AbstractGranitoids form the dominant component of Archean cratons. They are generated by partial melting of diverse crustal and mantle sources and subsequent differentiation of the primary magmas, and are formed through a variety of geodynamic processes. Granitoids, therefore, are important archives for early Earth lithospheric evolution. Peninsular India comprises five cratonic blocks bordered by mobile belts. The cratons that stabilized during the Paleoarchean–Mesoarchean (Singhbhum and Western Dharwar) recorded mostly diapirism or sagduction tectonics. Conversely, cratons that stabilized during the late Neoarchean (Eastern Dharwar, Bundelkhand, Bastar and Aravalli) show evidence consistent with terrane accretion–collision in a convergent setting. Thus, the Indian cratons provide testimony to a transition from a dominantly pre-plate tectonic regime in the Paleoarchean–Mesoarchean to a plate-tectonic-like regime in the late Neoarchean. Despite this diversity, all five cratons had a similar petrological evolution with a long period (250–850 myr) of episodic tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite (TTG) magmatism followed by a shorter period (30–100 myr) of granitoid diversification (sanukitoid, K-rich anatectic granite and A-type granite) with signatures of input from both mantle and crust. The contributions of this Special Publication cover diverse granitoid-related themes, highlighting the potential of Indian cratons in addressing global issues of Archean crustal evolution.

Abstract:
Neoproterozoic West African diamonds contain sulfide inclusions with mass-independently fractionated (MIF) sulfur isotopes that trace Archean surficial signatures into the mantle. Two episodes of subduction are recorded in these West African sulfide inclusions: thickening of the continental lithosphere through horizontal processes around 3 billion years ago and reworking and diamond growth around 650 million years ago. We find that the sulfur isotope record in worldwide diamond inclusions is consistent with changes in tectonic processes that formed the continental lithosphere in the Archean. Slave craton diamonds that formed 3.5 billion years ago do not contain any MIF sulfur. Younger diamonds from the Kaapvaal, Zimbabwe, and West African cratons do contain MIF sulfur, which suggests craton construction by advective thickening of mantle lithosphere through conventional subduction-style horizontal tectonics.

Abstract:
Abstract Plate tectonics, the principal vehicle for dissipation of planetary energy, is believed to buffer the δ18O of seawater at its near-modern value of 0‰ SMOW (Standard Mean Ocean Water) because the hot and cold cells of hydrothermal circulation at oceanic ridges cancel each other. The persistence of plate tectonics over eons apparently favors attribution of the well-documented oxygen isotope secular trends for carbonates (cherts, phosphates) to progressively warmer oceans, from 40–70 °C in the early Paleozoic to 60–100 °C in the Archean. We argue that these oceanic hydrothermal systems are dominated by low-temperature (<350 °C) cells that deplete the percolating water in 18O. Seawater δ18O is therefore a proxy for, rather than being buffered by, the intensity of plate tectonics. Detrending the Phanerozoic carbonate δ18Oc secular trend for its “tectonic” component yields a stationary time series that, interpreted as a proxy for Phanerozoic climate, indicates low-latitude shallow ocean temperatures oscillating between 10 and 30 °C around a baseline of 17 °C, attributes comparable to modern temperature values.

Abstract:
Abstract Thermomechanical models of mantle convection and melting in an inferred hotter Archean Earth show the emergence of pressure-temperature (P-T) regimes that resemble present-day plate tectonic environments yet developed within a non–plate tectonics regime. The models’ P-T gradients are compatible with those inferred from evolving tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite series rocks and the paired metamorphic belt record, supporting the feasibility of divergent and convergent tectonics within a mobilized, yet laterally continuous, lithospheric lid. “Hot” P-T gradients of 10–20 °C km–1 form along asymmetric lithospheric drips, then migrate to areas of deep lithospheric downwelling within ∼300–500 m.y., where they are overprinted by high-pressure warm and, later, cold geothermal signatures, up to ∼8 °C km–1. Comparisons with the crustal production and reworking record suggest that this regime emerged in the Hadean.

Abstract:
This work investigates Archean continental geodynamics. Three cratonic areas were studied: the Pilbara Craton, Australia (3.5--3.2 Ga), the Yilgarn Craton, Australia (2.7 Ga) and the Abitibi Subprovince, Canada (2.7 Ga). Each region is modeled using several 2-D gravity profiles. In the 3.5 Ga Pilbara craton, some modeled batholiths have well defined roots that extend to depths greater than 10 km whereas others have roots extending to less than 6 km depth. The model results from the 2.7 Ga Yilgarn craton and the Abitibi Subprovince show no major differences between the two terranes. The rarity of deep roots and a thickness of 5 to 6 km are characteristics of the ca. 2.7 Ga batholiths. The surrounding greenstones form keels of up to 10 km depth, in the three modeled regions. Compassion of the results from the older and younger cratons suggests: (1) the presence (Middle Archean) or quasi-absence (Late Archean) of deep batholith roots may indicate changes in continental geodynamics from 3.5 Ga to 2.8 Ga. (2) greenstones in the Middle and Late Archean terranes form deep keels, which are consistent with the gravity driven, diapiric model in the case of the older greenstones, and may be explained by crustal folding in the younger cases. A more detailed gravity study was done on the Abitibi Subprovince using modeled gravity profiles and a wavelet based inversion method, leading to a new proposed model to explain the structures of the Abitibi Subprovince. In this model the Abitibi upper-middle crust is folded, the deformations zones interpreted as detachment folds. We used analog experiments to investigate folding of continental crust subjected to different geothermal gradients. In our experiments, folding is the main response to shortening of the analog crust. The middle and lower crust analogs respond to the shortening by buckling. In the upper crust analog, detachment folds, thrust faults and grabens above anticlines are developed. For the lowest thermal gradient, one anticline-syncline pair is formed. For warmer gradients, multiple folds develop that have smaller amplitudes. Based on our models, we interpret that the increase of crustal temperatures may result in a decrease of the amplitude of the crustal folds. Our results suggest that the deformation style preserved within Archean greenstone belts is strongly influenced by the syndeformational thermal regime of the crust.* *This dissertation is a compound document (contains both a paper copy and a CD as part of the dissertation).

Abstract:
The granite – greenstone terranes in northwestern Ontario contain oval granitoid bodies. A specific granitoid body known as the Dashwa Gneiss was studied and the results are presented in this paper. The rocks in the field area display key features of diapirism that include concentric, steeply dipping foliations, radially distributed lineations and a shear zone bounding the granitoid that consistently shows 'granitoid up' kinematics relative to surrounding metavolcanic rocks. Based on these structural features, it is proposed that the oval map pattern of this region resulted from diapirism of the Dashwa Gneiss. A granitic intrusion at the core of the oval pattern is interpreted as providing the heat source responsible for lowering the viscosity of the Dashwa Gneiss sufficiently for the dense supracrustal rocks overlying the Dashwa Gneiss to trigger diapirism. The steep dip and concentric pattern of the Dashwa Gneiss indicate a pipe-like body that is attributed to erosion of the area exposing only the stem of the diapir. Mean foliation data show that the Western Wabigoon terrane is probably a diapiric field containing diapirs of variable maturity, shape, size and vertical level.
Les terranes de granite et roches vertes du nord-ouest ontarien contiennent des masses de granitoïdes à motif ovale. Un granitoïde nommé gneiss de Dashwa fut étudié et les résultats sont présentés dans cet article. Les roches sur le terrain montrent des caractéristiques importantes de diapirisme qui incluent une foliation concentrique à fort plongement, une linéation à distribution radiale et une zone de cisaillement bordant le granitoïde, qui montre de façon consistante une cinématique de 'granitoïde vers le haut'. En se basant sur ces caractéristiques structurales, il est proposé que le motif en plan ovale de cette région résulte du diapirisme du gneiss de Dashwa. L'intrusion granitique au coeur du motif ovale est interprétée comme étant la source de chaleur responsable d'une diminution de la viscosité du gneiss de Dashwa, au point où des roches métavolcaniques mafiques et denses recouvrant le gneiss de Dashwa ont activé le diapirisme. Le fort plongement et le motif concentrique du gneiss de Dashwa suggèrent une géométrie en conduit qui a été attribuée à l'érosion de la région exposant seulement le tronc du diapir. Les données de foliation moyenne indiquent que la terrane de Western Wabigoon est un champ diapirique contenant des diapirs de maturité, forme, taille et niveau vertical variables.

Abstract:
Archean greenstone belts typically form narrow sheared basins separating bulbous tonalo-trondjhemo-granodioritic (TTG) batholiths. The role played by gravity in the development of such dome-and-keel structures is a key question in Archean tectonics. The Pukaskwa batholith - Hemlo shear zone (HSZ) is a representative example of the dome-and-keel structures that are common in Archean terrains. This region has received considerable attention because the HSZ hosts several major gold deposits that are currently being mined. Late dextral strike-slip kinematics of the HSZ are well recorded by abundant strain markers in greenstone rocks, whereas the quartzofeldspathic coarse-grained rocks of the Pukaskwa batholith bear no macroscopically visible fabric. The goal of this study is to understand the structural history of this greenstone belt-batholith system. The Pukaskwa batholith is a heterogeneous assemblage of TTG gneisses bounded by the Hemlo greenstone belt to the north. The density of the Pukaskwa batholith rocks (density = 2700 kg/m3) is on average less than that of the Hemlo greenstone rocks (density = 3000 kg/m3). Since Archean geotherms were considered higher than modern equivalents, the effective viscosity of the TTG rocks might have been sufficiently low to allow their diapiric ascent through denser greenstone rocks. Alternatively, the emplacement of the TTG batholith might have been driven primarily by transpressive tectonics. The anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) provides valuable information on the internal fabric of the Pukaskwa batholith. This study provides the kinematic information needed to support either the diapiric or the transpressive tectonic model. AMS recorded east-west trending prolate and plano-linear fabrics across the northern section along the contact, suggesting that transpressional forces from the Hemlo shear zone affected the emplacement of the Pukaskwa batholith. Away from the contact, fabrics are generally flattened, indicative of doming through diapiric processes. Also, in order to fully evaluate the diapiric hypothesis, it is necessary to obtain reliable data on rock densities across the Pukaskwa batholith. The density of about 360 representative specimens from the Pukaskwa batholith has been measured and will constitute a valuable database for future gravimetric investigations by mining companies. The significant degree of correlation between high-field magnetic susceptibility and density in the Pukaskwa batholith should be taken into account in geophysical exploration in Archean terrains, only as a proxy for iron content.

Abstract:
The Gull Rapids area, Manitoba, lies on the Superior craton margin and forms part of the Superior Boundary Zone (SBZ), a major collisional zone between the Archean Superior craton and the adjacent Paleoproterozoic Trans-Hudson Orogen. There are two main rock assemblages at Gull Rapids: orthogneisses (of possible Split Lake Block origin) and supracrustal rocks (metavolcanic and metasedimentary). Late, crosscutting felsic and mafic intrusive bodies (mostly dykes and sills) are used to constrain the relative and absolute timing of deformation and metamorphism.

The Gull Rapids area records a complex tectonic history. The area experienced four generations of Neoarchean ductile and brittle deformation (G1 ? G4) and one of Paleoproterozoic ductile-brittle deformation (G5). G1 deformation produced the main foliation in the map area, as well as local isoclinal folding which may be related to an early shearing event. M1a prograde mid-amphibolite facies metamorphism is contemporaneous with the early stages of G1. Widespread, tight to isoclinal sheath folding during G2 was recorded in the supracrustal assemblage, and is the result of southwest-side-up, dextral shearing during the early shearing event. A ca. 2. 68 Ga widespread phase of granitoid intrusion was emplaced late-G1 to early-G2, and is rich in metamorphic minerals that record conditions of M1b upper-amphibolite facies peak metamorphism. M1b metamorphism, late-G1 to early-G2 deformation, and intrusion of this felsic phase are contemporaneous. M2 retrograde metamorphism to mid-amphibolite facies was recorded sometime after M1b. G1 and G2 structures were re-folded during G3, which was then followed by G4 southwest-side-up, dextral and sinistral shearing, contemporaneous with late pegmatite intrusion at ca. 2. 61 Ga. This was followed by mafic dyke emplacement at ca. 2. 10 Ga, and then by G5 sinistral and dextral shearing and M3 greenschist facies metamorphism or hydrothermal alteration at ca. 1. 80 Ga.

Deformation and metamorphism at Gull Rapids post-dates emplacement and deposition of gneissic and supracrustal rocks, respectively. This deformation and metamorphism, except for G5 and M3, is Neoarchean (ca. 2. 68?2. 61 Ga), and represents a significant movement of crustal blocks: km-scale shearing of the supracrustal assemblage and consequent uplift of the Split Lake Block. Late deformation and metamorphism (G5, M3) may be related to the Paleoproterozoic Trans-Hudson orogeny. The Neoarchean and Paleoproterozoic zircon populations in the geochronological data suggest that the Gull Rapids area largely experienced Neoarchean deformation and metamorphism with a weak Paleoproterozoic overprint. All of the evidence presented above suggests that the Gull Rapids area lies in a part of the Superior Boundary Zone, yet does not lie at the exact margin of the Superior craton, and therefore does not mark the Archean-Proterozoic boundary proper in northeastern Manitoba.

Abstract:
This thesis focuses on mineralogy, geochemistry, and origin of eight pegmatites and two spatially associated granites of Late Archean and Paleoproterozoic ages located in Marquette and Dickinson Counties, Michigan. Biotite geochemistry reveals that both granites and all pegmatites are peraluminous and have an orogenic signature. However, bulk composition reveals the Humboldt granite is a peraluminous A-type granite and the Bell Creek granite is a peraluminous mix between I-, S-, and A-type granites. The Republic Mine pegmatite appears to be geochemically similar to the Bell Creek granite and Grizzly pegmatite. The Crockley pegmatite is genetically related to the Humboldt granite. The Groveland Mine, Sturgeon River, and Hwy69 pegmatites appear to be a product of the Peavy Pond Complex being contaminated with the Marquette Range Super Group. Contamination and anatexis have made classification of the granites and pegmatites problematic. The Grizzly should be classified as a primitive LCT-type even though this pegmatite lacks characteristic enrichment associated with LCT pegmatites. Mineralogical geochemistry reveals that the Republic Mine is relatively more primitive than other pegmatites and should be classified as a primitive Mixed-type pegmatite. Groveland Mine has mineralogy and geochemistry not normally associated with NYF-type pegmatites and should be classified as Mixed. The Crockley pegmatite should be classified as NYF-type with a primitive LCT overprint. Dolfin, Hwy69, Sturgeon River, and Black River pegmatites should be classified as Rare Element, REE, NYF-type, although the Black River has slight tantalum enrichment expressed in columbite group minerals.
