DEEP CRUSTAL STRUCTURE AND MODEL OF NEORCHAEAN EVOLUTION OF THE NORTH AMERICAN CRATON by M. V. Mints, T. B. Afonina

“…The Neoarchaean North American Craton is one of a series of similar phenomena that occurred ~2.75 Ga ago in a number of continental regions. The most important features, repeated to a certain degree in tectonic units of this type, are: (1) synchronous formation between 2.79 and 2.58 Ga; (2) mainly intracontinental development; (3) the prevalence of oval‐shaped synformal tectonic structures of different ranks with some form of concentric zoning; (4) high‐temperature magmatism (usually with the participation of enderbite‐charnockites and gabbro‐anorthosites) and metamorphism of the granulite facies; (5) a frequently repeated combination of high‐grade (granulite and high‐ temperature amphibolites facies) and low‐ or moderate‐grade (greenschist and epidote‐amphibolite facies) meta‐ morphic rocks; (6) the lower‐crust granulite‐basaltic layer that had formed and was deformed at the final stage of endogenic activity; (7) a thick lithosphere (the lithospheric keel reaches a depth of 250–350 km).…”
