Origin of Archean Pb isotope variability through open-system Paleoarchean crustal anatexis

Lead isotopic data imply that thorium and uranium were fractionated from one another in Earth’s early history; however, the origin of this fractionation is poorly understood. We report new in situ Pb isotope data from orthoclase in 144 granites sampled across the Archean Yilgarn craton (Western Aust...
