Acasta Gneiss. Der Acasta-Gneis ist nach dem nahe gelegenen Acasta-Fluss östlich des Great Slave Lake, etwa 350 Kilometer nördlich von Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Kanada, benannt. Es liegt in einem abgelegenen Gebiet der Landsiedlung Tlicho. O Acasta Gneiss é um gnaisse tonalita do cráton Slave nos Territórios do Noroeste, Canadá. O corpo da rocha está exposto em uma ilha a cerca de 300 quilômetros ao norte de Yellowknife. A rocha do afloramento foi metamorfoseada há 3,58 a 4,031 bilhões de anos e é o fragmento crustal intacto mais antigo conhecido na Terra.

Deciphering the zircon Hf isotope systematics of Eoarchean gneisses from Sr isotopes in apatite within Eoarchean zircon from the Acasta gneiss complex.

The Earth is 500 million years older still, but little record of that early time has survived our planet's geologic activity. Gneiss is a high grade banded metamorphic formed by the deep burial and heating of its pre-existing parent rock. This specimen the Acasta Gneiss from the NW Three ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Acasta, whilst another two were planned: . HMS Acasta (1797) was a 40-gun fifth rate frigate launched in 1797 and broken up in 1821.

…uranium-lead technique revealed that the Acasta gneisses, which occur southeast of Great Bear Lake in the northwestern corner of the shield, were at least 3.8 billion (and possibly up to 3.96 billion) years old. In the northeastern part of the shield, rocks as old as 3.8 billion years are found…

We show that the titanium isotopic composition of orthogneisses from the Acasta Gneiss Complex spanning the Hadean to Eoarchean transition falls on two distinct All our rocks are carefully selected for educational study. They come in labelled trays. The trays are normally 3" x 2" size depending on the rarity of the specimen. Average specimen size is shown below. These are ideal for classroom teaching and are a size that can be easily passed round the classroom for students to get a feel for each type.

Miss Her Isolation is the first release by the Brussels recording artist Acasta Gneiss. He began working on the album in January 2020, already deciding on the title before a global pandemic would require us all to self-isolate. 2020-12-01 4.03 billion years old. the oldest object you'll ever hold The Acasta Gneiss is a tonalite gneiss in the Slave craton in Northwest Territories, Canada. The rock body is exposed on an island about 300 kilometres north of Yellowknife. The rock of the outcrop was metamorphosed 3.58 to 4.031 billion years ago and is the oldest known intact crustal fragment on Earth.

In the following sections, we show how comparison of the whole rock and zircon trace element geochemistry of The Acasta Gneiss outcrop in Northern Canada is generally regarded as the oldest known intact crustal fragment on Earth. The minerals at the site are unique due to the high content of silica they The Acasta Gneiss Complex (AGC) of the Northwest Territories in Canada preserves some of the oldest rocks yet dated (4.03 Ga), thereby providing key rock suites with which to examine continental Der Acasta-Gneis oder Acasta-Gneis-Komplex (nach dem nahe gelegenen Acasta River) ist eine Gesteinseinheit des Archaikums im Nordwesten Kanadas.Die überwiegend aus Gneis bestehende Einheit enthält Bereiche, deren Ausgangsgesteine auf ein Alter von bis zu 4.030 mya datiert wurden und somit zu den ältesten bisher bekannten Gesteinen der Erde gehören.
