Growth of early continental crust controlled by melting of amphibolite in subduction zones

S Foley, M Tiepolo, R Vannucci - Nature, 2002 - nature.com
It is thought that the first continental crust formed by melting of either eclogite or amphibolite,
either at subduction zones or on the underside of thick oceanic crust. However, the observed …
