Disciplines concerned with the geologic history of Earth, including the study of fossils and the fossil record (paleontology), the development of sedimentary strata deposited typically over millions of years (stratigraphy), and the isotopic chemistry and age dating of rocks (geochronology).

The southern segment of the ancestral Cascades magmatic arc includes numerous volcanic fields; among these, the Bodie Hills volcanic field (BHVF), astride the CaliforniaNevada bo
· The major, trace and rare earth element (REE) composition of Late Archean manganese, ferromanganese and iron ores from the Iron Ore Group (IOG) in Orissa, east India, was examined. Manganese deposits, occurring above the iron formations of the IOG, display massive, rhythmically laminated or botryoidal textures. The ores are composed primarily of .
· Giant ore deposits are priority targets for mining companies. A review of the characteristics of several giant porphyry and epithermal deposits worldwide suggests that they formed from ordinary ...

China is the world's leading rare earth element (REE) producer and hosts a variety of deposit types. Carbonatite related REE deposits, the most significant deposit type, include two giant deposits presently being mined in China, Bayan Obo and Maoniuping, the first and third largest deposits of this type in the world, respectively.
has an interest in the origin of life, evolution of biosphere on the early Earth, and ore deposits. The "origin of life" and "environments on the early Earth" are problems addressed by this group based on the information obtained by field survey and laboratory experiment. Experiments to synthesize amino acids, peptides, nucleic acid ...
Staff currently undertaking research into solid Earth and planetary science include: Dr Claire Cousins – Linkages between volcanism and microbial life; Mars geology; Prof Adrian Finch – Mineralogy and alkaline magmatism; Dr Nicholas Gardiner – Crustal evolution, radiogenic isotope geochemistry, magmatic ore deposits
· A landmark 15year study details the origins and diversity of every known mineral on Earth, a landmark body of work that will help reconstruct the history of life on Earth, guide the search for new minerals and ore deposits, predict possible characteristics of future life, and aid the search for habitable planets and extraterrestrial life. The research was led by the Carnegie .
· Studying the speciation and mineralfluid partitioning of the rare earth elements (REE) allows us to delineate the key processes responsible for the formation of economic REE mineral deposits in natural systems. Hydrothermal REEbearing calcite is typically hosted in carbonatites and alkaline rocks, such as the giant Bayan Obo REE deposit in China and .
Mountain deposits typically host smallersized deposits, with typical highgrade hydrous MgNi silie ore. Plateau deposits are intermediate with both types of ore, including even clay mineralogy (, Tiébaghi). This typology of deposit and geomorphological features can be associated in a consistent model (Maurizot et al., 2019). Basins, plateaus (which are inverted .

· The formation of gold deposits on Earth requires aqueous fluids that extract gold from minerals and magmas and transport and precipitate the metal as economic concentrations in ores that are three to six orders of magnitude larger than the Au mean content (∼ ppm) of common crustal and mantle rocks (1–9).However, natural data on gold contents in fluids are .
Banded iron formations are almost exclusively Precambrian in age, with most deposits dating to the late Archean ( Ma) with a secondary peak of deposition in the Orosirian period of the Paleoproterozoic (1850 Ma). Minor amounts were deposited in the early Archean and in the Neoproterozoic (750 Ma). The youngest known banded iron formation is an Early Cambrian .

Evolution of Early Earth's Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, and Biosphere Constraints from Ore Deposits Stephen E. Kesler, Hiroshi Ohmoto 2006 The Geological Society of America This GSA Memoir contains 17 papers about the Earth's early atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere, from Hadean through Proterozoic time.
Earth's history can be divided into three eras and ten stages of "mineral evolution" (Table 1; Hazen et al., 2008), each of which has seen significant changes in the planet's nearsurface mineralogy, including increases in the number of mineral species; shifts in the distribution of those species; systematic changes in major, minor, and trace element and isotopic compositions of ...
