Bimodality in zircon oxygen isotopes and implications for crustal melting on the early Earth

Zircons from the oldest dated felsic crust, the Acasta Gneiss Complex, Canada, provide key information that may help understand the generation of crust on our nascent planet. When screened to eliminate grains with secondary alteration by measuring relative hydration (Δ16O1H/16O), primary ≥ 3.99 Ga z...
