Episodic crustal growth in the Tanzania Craton: evidence from Nd isotope compositions

ABSTRACT: The analysis of available Nd isotope data from the Tanzania Craton places important constraints on the crust-mantle separation ages, and events marking juvenile crustal addition and crustal recycling. Nd model ages date the oldest crust extraction to 3.16 Ga in the Tanzania Craton, althoug...
