摘要: Abstract Fragments of a deformed and metamorphosed, layered anorthosite-gabbro-ultramafic intrusion called the Manfred Complex occur as inclusions in ∼ 3650 3400 Ma old banded granite gneisses at Mount Narryer Western Gneiss Terrain Yilgarn Block. The complex is typical world-wide group Archaean anorthosites, characterized by very large primary grain sizes equidimensional calcic plagioclase. This first recorded occurrence these anorthosites Australia. Pb-Pb Sm-Nd whole-rock, U-Pb zircon geochronology given accompanying two papers (Fletcher, I.R., Rosman, K.J.R. Libby, W.G., 1988. Precambrian Res., 38: 343–354; Kinny, P.D., Williams, I.S., Froude, D.O., Ireland, T.R. Compston, W., 325–341) shows that about 3730 old. It therefore oldest known terrestrial anorthosite one rock units on Earth.
