Evolution of the continental crust
The continental crust covers nearly a third of the Earth's surface. It is buoyant—being less
dense than the crust under the surrounding oceans—and is compositionally evolved …

Neoproterozoic amalgamation between Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks: The magmatism in various tectonic settings and continent-arc-continent collision
According to the temporal-spatial distribution of Neoproterozoic igneous rocks and relative
rocks in South China, including ophiolites, arc volcanic and intrusive rocks and subsequent …

Copper isotope evidence for sulfide fractionation and lower crustal foundering in making continental crust
The continental crust is strongly depleted in copper compared with its building blocks—
primary arc magmas—and this depletion is intrinsically associated with continental crust …

The Lu–Hf and Sm–Nd isotopic composition of CHUR: constraints from unequilibrated chondrites and implications for the bulk composition of terrestrial planets
The Lutetium–Hafnium radiogenic isotopic system is widely used as a chronometer and
tracer of planetary evolution. In order for this isotopic system to fulfill its potential in planetary …

Constraints from thorium/lanthanum on sediment recycling at subduction zones and the evolution of the continents
T Plank - Journal of Petrology, 2005 - academic.oup.com
Arc magmas and the continental crust share many chemical features, but a major question
remains as to whether these features are created by subduction or are recycled from …

Contrasting zircon Hf and O isotopes in the two episodes of Neoproterozoic granitoids in South China: implications for growth and reworking of continental crust
The genetic links among rift magmatism, crustal growth and water–rock interaction are an
important issue about mass and heat transfer between mantle and crust during …

Origin of ocean island basalts: A new perspective from petrology, geochemistry, and mineral physics considerations
Y Niu, MJ O'Hara - Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid …, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
Consideration of petrology, geochemistry, and mineral physics suggests that ancient
subducted oceanic crusts cannot be the source materials supplying ocean island basalts …

Reworking of juvenile crust: element and isotope evidence from Neoproterozoic granodiorite in South China
A combined study of geochronology and geochemistry was carried out for Neoproterozoic
granodiorites at the southeastern margin of the Yangtze Block in South China. The results …

Constraints from loess on the Hf–Nd isotopic composition of the upper continental crust
Abstract Knowledge of the average composition of the upper continental crust is crucial to
establish not only how it formed but also when. While well constrained averages have been …

Isotopic variations in S-type granites: an inheritance from a heterogeneous source?
Inherited zircons from S-type granites provide exceptionally good insight into the isotopic
heterogeneity of their sources. Zircons from four samples (one granite, two granodiorites …
