The emergence of the Eoarchaean proto-arc: evolution of a c. 3700 Ma convergent plate boundary at Isua, southern West Greenland

Eoarchaean juvenile crust formed as 'proto-arcs'. The northern side of the Isua supracrustal belt is an archetypal proto-arc, with ≥3720 Ma boninites, c. 3720 Ma basalts and gabbros, 3720-3710 Ma andesites, diorites and mafic tonalites, 3710-3700 Ma int
