Heterogeneous Hadean Hafnium: Evidence of Continental Crust at 4.4 to 4.5 Ga

Harrison, Timothy; Blichert-Toft, Janne; Mueller, Wolfgang; Albarede, Francis; Holden, Peter; Mojzsis, Stephen

Description

The long-favored paradigm for the development of continental crust is one of progressive growth beginning at ∼4 billion years ago (Ga). To test this hypothesis, we measured initial176Hf/177Hf values of 4.01- to 4.37-Ga detrital zircons from Jack Hills,
