Timeline for the eastern Beartooth Mts. 3.56 Ga - Lu-Hf zircon age of average Hellroaring Plateau zircons 3.2-3.4Ga - major crust-forming event that yields the dominant zircon population in quartzites 3.1-2.8 Ga - granulite facies metamorphism (M1) (5-7 kbar 750-800ºC) 2.78-2.79 Ga - andesitic magmatism and intrusion of Long Lake granodiorites 2.79-2.74 Ga - deformation and amphibolite facies metamorphism (M2) 2.74 Ga - massive intrusion of the Long Lake Granite and local (M3) granulite facies overprint. Some new growth of zircon rims in Hellroaring quartzites 2.74 Ga – intrusion of mafic igneous layered Stillwater Complex in adjacent Stillwater block 1.3 Ga – Rb-Sr and K-Ar emplacement age of alkali-olivine mafic dikes 774 Ma – 40Ar/39Ar emplacement age of diabase dikes (Gunbarrel magmatic event) 65-57 Ma - rapid uplift (apatite fission track data) –Laramide Orogeny (Henry & Mogk, 2003)

A giant magma ocean and separation of the Earths core: constraints on these events from tiny, brief experiments Kilauea, Hawaii, 1200°C Incandescent Bulb, 2500°C Liquidus of Mantle at 700 km
The Earth is differentiated How and When did this occur? Two Sets of Constraints: Physical Mechanisms and Chemical Signatures
Heat Sources: Solar/Magnetic Induction heating (but T-Tauri: Polar Flows) Short-lived radioisotopes 26 ( Al 0.73 Ma half life: must accrete fast) Long-lived radioisotopes (U, Th, K) (slow, only for larger bodies) Large impacts (only for larger bodies: between Moon and Mars-sized) Potential energy of core formation (larger bodies: 6300 km radius: 2300°C rise, 3000 km radius: 600°C rise) Resonant tidal heating (Only moons: Moon?, Titan, Io, Europa)
Observations/Inferences: Rocky inner, icy outer solar system Asteroid differentiation temperatures heliocentrically distributed Gross zonal structure within asteroid belt preserved The Moon had a magma ocean The solar photosphere has a composition very similar to CI carbonaceous chondrites Heat source concentrated near Sun? or Longer times to accrete object farther from the sun (less 26Al heating)?
