Ages, Geochemistry and Metamorphism of Neoarchean Basement in Shandong Province

Mehr zum Buch

The book explores the formation and evolution of Archean crust in the North China Craton, particularly through field-based studies of Meso-Neoarchean basement rocks in Shandong Province. It presents significant findings that suggest mantle plumes, rather than plate tectonics, played a crucial role in crust formation. Given the craton's ancient rocks, some dating back 3.85 billion years, the research addresses ongoing debates in Precambrian geology, making it a valuable resource for scholars interested in cratonic evolution.
