Setting of the ∼2560 Ma Qôrqut Granite Complex in the Archean crustal evolution of Southern West Greenland

The Archean gneiss complex of West Greenland contains packages of unrelated rocks created during relatively short periods of time in arc-like magmatic environments, and having similarities to rocks formed at Phanerozoic convergent plate boundaries. The terranes of new Archean crust were amalgamated...
