Hadean crustal evolution revisited: New constraints from Pb-Hf isotope systematics of the Jack Hills zircons

Detrital zircon crystals from the Jack Hills metasedimentary belt, Western Australia, are the only surviving vestiges of Hadean crust and represent an extraordinary archive into the nature of the early Earth. We report the results of an in situ isotopic study of 68 Jack Hills zircons in which the Hf...
