Continental growth seen through the sedimentary record
Sedimentary rocks and detrital minerals sample large areas of the continental crust, and
they are increasingly seen as a reliable archive for its global evolution. This study presents …

Did transit through the galactic spiral arms seed crust production on the early Earth?
Although there is evidence for periodic geological perturbations driven by regular or semi-
regular extra-terrestrial bombardment, the production of Earth's continental crust is generally …

Asteroid bombardment and the core of Theia as possible sources for the Earth's late veneer component
NH Sleep - Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract The silicate Earth contains Pt‐group elements in roughly chondritic relative ratios,
but with absolute concentrations< 1% chondrite. This veneer implies addition of chondrite …
