New research from @MonashEAE describes an ancient magmatic centre that was active intermittently for over 200 Ma staring 2.9 billion years ago. The magma rose through the crust forming an elliptical domal structure 90 km in diameter, but with a range of smaller internal domes nested in the larger structure. This kind of magmatic bodies were common in the Archean Earth (4 - 2.5 billion years ago) but rare ever since. This image shows a fold interference pattern in migmatites in the Yalgoo Dome in the Yilgarn Craton, in Western Australia. ⠀ doi.org/10.1016/j.tecto.2020.228375

#PhD student Alok Chaudhari is at the Center of Microscopy Characterisation and Analysis at the University of Western Australia mapping the distribution of copper isotopes in hydrothermal copper sulfides on samples thinner than human hair! (2 microns). The isotope maps will provide key insights into the reaction mechanism involved during mineral replacement in copper sulfides.
