This book was released on 2010-04-01 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though it encompasses the majority of the Earths history, much about Precambrian time still remains unknown to us. With its climate extremes and unstable surfaces, Precambrian Earth hardly resembled the planet we see today. Yet for all its differences, it made the existence of future generations possible. This volume helps unlock the mysteries of prehistory by considering available geologic evidence while providing a deep dive into the finesses of geochronology.

Download or read book Precambrian Geology written by Alan M. Goodwin and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2016-02-06 with total page 681 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main goal of this book is to provide a modern comprehensive statement on the Earth's Precambrian crust. It uses geographic and tectonic location, lithostratigraphy, geochronology, and petrogenesis as a basis for considering Precambrian coastal evolution--including the role of plate tectonics. Detailed consideration is given to the endogenic and exogenic processes which formed the continental crust and also to its subsequent secular evolution across Precambrian time**An essential reference volume for every Precambrian geologist.

Book Synopsis Geological Evolution of the Earth During the Precambrian by : Lazarʹ Iosifovich Salop
Download or read book Geological Evolution of the Earth During the Precambrian written by Lazarʹ Iosifovich Salop and published by Springer. This book was released on 1983 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Progress in Precambrian geology has been exceptionally great, indeed quite striking for geologists of the older generation; only some 30-40 years ago the Precambrian appeared as an uncertain and even mystic prelude to geologic evolution. Even the very name - Precambrian - means some indi visible unit in the early history of the Earth, the beginning of which is poorly known. At the same time it was obvious that the Precambrian formations are of extremely varied and complex composition and poor knowledge and lack of reliable methods of division and correlation were to blame for the lack of significant progress in studies of this early evolutionary stage of the planet. Certainly, even at the very start of Precambrian studies, the results obtained were quite promising, lifting as they did the mysterious veil over the regional Precambrian; but they presented no general realistic picture of this early stage in the Earth's evolution at that time. Recently, this situation has completely changed, due to new methods of study of the older forma tions, and due also to the refinement of some well-known methods, in particular of division, dating, and correlation of "silent" metamorphic strata. Application of different isotope methods of dating was most impor tant in providing objective rock age and thereby the age of geologic events recorded in these rocks. Thus it became possible to reconstruct the oldest geologic period of our planet.

Book Synopsis The Earth's Age and Geochronology by : Derek York
Download or read book The Earth's Age and Geochronology written by Derek York and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Earth's Age and Geochronology provides an outline of geochronological methods, applications, and interpretations. This book discusses the fossil fission track method of dating. Organized into 12 chapters, this book begins with an overview of an accurate chronometer for measuring time intervals that must contain some sort of mechanism in which it operates at a predictable or known rate. This text then discusses the methodology of dating as well as the importance of long cooling histories. Other chapters consider the application of the experimental method to idealized, undisturbed systems. This book discusses as well the concept that in plutonic environments daughter isotope retention may often not commence until long after crystallization, or the peak of metamorphism. The final chapter deals with the applications of geochronology wherein the effects of selectivity will be particularly evident. This book is a valuable resource for nuclear physicists, astronomers, geologists, cosmologists, geochronologists, experimentalists, and scientists.

Book Synopsis Geochronology of Older Precambrian Rocks in Gila County, Arizona by : Donald Everett Livingston
Download or read book Geochronology of Older Precambrian Rocks in Gila County, Arizona written by Donald Everett Livingston and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sequence of Older Precambrian volcanic and sedimentary rocks more than 15,000 feet thick occurs in the Blackjack Mountains and White Ledges, 20 miles north of Globe, Arizona. This sequence consists of (from older to younger) the Redmond formation (acidic volcanic rocks) and the Hess Canyon group (clastic sedimentary rocks). The Hess Canyon group is subdivided into: the White Ledges formation (interbedded quartzites and argillaceous rocks); the Yankee Joe formation (argillaceous strata with interbedded graywackes and arkoses); and the Blackjack formation (argillaceous quartzites). These rocks have been intruded by the Ruin Granite (a porphyritic quartz monzonite) and subsequently eroded to approximately the present level of exposure prior to the deposition of the Younger Precambrian Apache Group. The unconformity between the Older and Younger Precambrian strata is well exposed at Butte Creek north of Haystack Butte. Diabase has intruded the Blackjack formation, the Ruin Granite and the Apache Group. No Paleozoic or Mesozoic rocks are known to occur within the surveyed area. Sediments and volcanic and sedimentary rocks of Tertiary and Quaternary age partly conceal the older rocks. The Hess Canyon group can be correlated with the Deadman Quartzite, Maverick Shale, and Mazatzal Quartzite of the Mazatzal Mountains (Wilson 1939a) and also the Houden Formation of the Diamond Butte Quadrangle (Gastil 1958). Whole rock Rb-Sr dating indicates an age of 1,510 ± m.y. for the Redmond formation. Isotopic dating of the Ruin Granite near the Blackjack Mountains and of the granitic rocks intruded the Mazatzal Quartzite of Four Peaks in the southern Mazatzal Mountains indicates that the Mazatzal Orogeny (the Mazatzal Revolution of Wilson, 1939a) occurred 1,425 to 1,380 m.y. ago in central Arizona. This orogeny followed the deposition of the Mazatzal Quartzite and the Hess Canyon group, terminating older Precambrian time in Arizona and was followed by the deposition of the Younger Precambrian Apache Group. Isotopic dating of volcanic metamorphic and plutonic rocks in the Pinal and Tortilla Mountains and near Roosevelt Dam on the Salt River indicate that portions of the Pinal Schist in the type locality are greater than 1,730 m.y. old and that these rocks have experienced a complex series of events in Older Precambrian times. The Madera Diorite of Ransome (1903) consists of rocks 1,730 ± 30 m.y. old as well as rocks about 1,500 m.y. old. The Older Precambrian igneous rocks in this part of Arizona appear to have developed from material similar in Rb to Sr ratio to average shallow continental crust. These rocks formed during the interval 1,730 to 1,370 m.y. ago. The continental crust in this region probably originated no earlier than about 1,800 m.y. ago. Igneous rocks younger than 1,370 m.y. have not been derived soley from average shallow crustal material.
Book Synopsis The Precambrian Earth by : P.G. Eriksson
Download or read book The Precambrian Earth written by P.G. Eriksson and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2004-03-04 with total page 967 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book the editors strive to cover all primary (i.e. non-applied) topics in Precambrian geology in a non-partisan way, by using a large team of international authors to present their datasets and highly divergent viewpoints. The chapters address: celestial origins of Earth and succeeding extraterrestrial impact events; generation of continental crust and the greenstone-granite debate; the interaction of mantle plumes and plate tectonics over Precambrian time; Precambrian volcanism, emphasising komatiite research; evolution and models for Earth's hydrosphere and atmosphere; evolution of life and its influence on Precambrian ocean chemistry and chemical sedimentation; sedimentation through Precambrian time; the application of sequence stratigraphy to the Precambrian rock record. Each topic is introduced and a non-partisan closing commentary provided at the end of each chapter. The final chapter blends the major geological events and rates at which important processes occurred into a synthesis, which postulates a number of "event clusters" in the Precambrian when significant changes occurred in many natural systems and geological environments.
