15. (Carlson et al, 1998-2002; James and Fouch, 2002) (Shirey et al., GRL, 2001) Most sulfide inclusions are late Archean Peridotite Re-Os shows the cratonic lithosphere is Archean

16. Re, trace elements and oxygen correlate with eclogite groups

17. Oxygen, Re-Os and REE allow eclogites to be placed into an Archean oceanic lithosphere section

18. Re-Os whole rock systematics give a scattered Archean age Same for other localities and some other isotope systems (e.g. Nd, Pb)

19. U-Pb age on zircon supports Re-Os age
