AbstractOur understanding of the nature of crustal formation in the Eoarchean is limited by the scarcity and poor preservation of the oldest rocks and variable and imperfect preservation of protolith magmatic signatures. These limitations hamper our ability to place quantitative constraints on thermomechanical models for early crustal genesis and hence on the operative geodynamic regimes at that time. The recently discovered ca. 3.75 Ga Ukaliq supracrustal enclave (northern Québec) is mainly composed of variably deformed and compositionally diverse serpentinized ultramafic rocks and amphibolitized mafic schists whose metamorphic peak, inferred from phase equilibria modeling, was below 720 °C. Inferred protoliths to the Ukaliq ultramafic rocks include cumulative dunites, pyroxenites, and gabbros, whereas the mafic rocks were probably picrites, basalts, and basaltic andesites. The bulk-rock and mineral chemistry documents the partial preservation of cumulative pyroxenes and probably amphiboles and demonstrates the occurrence of a clinopyroxene-dominated, tholeiitic suite and an orthopyroxene-dominated, boninite-like suite. Together with the presence of negative μ¹⁴²Nd anomalies in the boninitic basalts, two liquid lines of descent are inferred: (i) a damp tholeiitic sequence resulting from the fractionation of a basaltic liquid produced by mantle decompression; and (ii) a boninitic suite documenting the evolution of an initially primitive basaltic andesite liquid produced by flux melting. Petrographic observations, thermodynamic modeling, bulk-rock and mineral chemistry, and ¹⁴²Nd isotopic compositions identify the Ukaliq supracrustal belt as the remnant of an Eoarchean arc crust produced by the recycling of Hadean crust in a similar way as modern-style subduction.
