Archean Plate Tectonics: Isotopic Evidence from Samples of the Lithospheric Mantle to the Upper Crust Steven B Shirey Department of Terrestrial Magnetism Carnegie Institution of Washington DEPTH ISOTOPIC DATA Pb-Pb Array for MORB-OIB CRUSTAL EVIDENCE Sialic rocks with juvenile isotopes Enriched Os in wet komatiites O isotopes in magmatic zircon INFERENCE OCEANIC SLAB RECYCLING OCEANIC ARCS WITH START OF CONTINENTAL ARCS EARLY RELATIVELY COOL MAGMATISM MANTLE LITHOSPHERE EVIDENCE Low-T O isotopes in eclogites C & N isotopes in diamond + Os isotopes in sulfide inclusions MIF sulfur in sulfide inclusions SUBDUCTION IMPRINT EVIDENT Current mantle heterogeneity, especially the Pb-Pb array for MORB-OIB supports Paleoarchean mantle recycling. (Davies, JGR 1984) (Hart & Gaetani, CMP 2006) (Davies, EPSL 2002) QuickTime™ and a Graphics decompressor are needed to see this picture. (Davies, EPSL 2002) Nd and Hf isotope data on Archean crustal rocks used to require separation on an early crustal component. This is no longer the case. (Vervoort & Blichert-Toft, GCA 2001) An Early Depleted Reservoir (EDR) has been proposed for the Earth. All Archean crust would come from this reservoir. (Boyet & Carlson, Science, 2005) EDR of Boyet & Carlson (Bennett, Treatise on Geochemistry, 2004; with additions) (Bennett, Treatise on Geochemistry, 2004) EDR of Boyet & Carlson (Bennett, Treatise on Geochemistry, 2004; with additions) EDR of Boyet & Carlson CRUSTAL EVOLUTION (Harrison et al, Science, 2004; with additions) Isotopic heterogeneity mantle 4.3 Ga reservoir (Kamber et al, CMP 2003; with additions) (Valley et al, CMP, 2005) (modified from Stachel et al, Elements, 2005) Peridotite Re-Os shows the cratonic lithosphere is Archean Most sulfide inclusions are late Archean 8.00 6.00 MED IAN PERIDOTITE Tm a = 3.1 Ga 187 Os/188Os 4.00 MED IAN PERIDOTITE Trd = 2.7 Ga 2.00 0.00 Kimberley Jwaneng Orapa Koffiefontein 0 100 200 187 (Carlson et al, 1998-2002; James and Fouch, 2002) 300 Re/188Os (Shirey et al., GRL, 2001) 400 Re, trace elements and oxygen correlate with eclogite groups Oxygen, Re-Os and REE allow eclogites to be placed into an Archean oceanic lithosphere section Re-Os whole rock systematics give a scattered Archean age Same for other localities and some other isotope systems (e.g. Nd, Pb) U-Pb age on zircon supports Re-Os age (modified from original fig by Schmitz et al, 2004) Diamond Stable Isotopes (separate symbols are E-Types & fibrous diamonds) MIF Sulfur (Mojsis et al., GCA, 2003) (Farquhar et al., Science, 2000) An Archean tracer of surficial sulfur Sulfide inclusions in Orapa diamonds have surface S J.
