Zircons reveal mantle evolution A team of Finnish geologists has discovered 3.1 billion-year-old zircons in the Jormua ophiolite of eastern Finland. Although not the oldest zircons on Earth, the Jormua zircons are the oldest yet found in mantle rocks. Their discovery has given scientists a brief glimpse into the history of early plate tectonics. |
