Evidence for pre-Noachian granitic rocks on Mars from quartz in meteorite NWA 7533

Quartz-rich clasts in Martian meteorite NWA 7533 indicate the presence of granitic rocks on early Mars that formed via hydrothermal activity and impact melting, according to petrologic and in situ geochemical analyses.

Greenstone burial–exhumation cycles at the late Archean transition to plate tectonics

Supracrustal rocks of the Yilgarn orogen underwent deep burial, and later syn-shortening exhumation. Archean exhumation processes were likely less efficient that today, so that complete exhumation of high-pressure rocks was rare and accidental.

Pre-subduction metasomatic enrichment of the oceanic lithosphere induced by plate flexure

Oceanic lithosphere is recycled into the mantle at subduction zones. Analysis of fragments of lower oceanic lithosphere brought to the surface by petit-spot volcanoes suggests this lithosphere may be enriched by melts prior to subduction.
