The evolving nature of terrestrial crust from the Hadean, through the Archaean, into the Proterozoic
BS Kamber - Precambrian Research, 2015 - Elsevier
An outstanding feature of the Archaean Eon is that it was a time of major production and
preservation of continental lithosphere. Here I review the geological, geochemical and basic …
