The extensive occurrence of a felsic continental crust is one of the unique features of the Earth. The growth history of the continental crust has been a key issue in understanding the origin and evolution of the Earth. In particular, recent geological studies indicate that subduction of the continental crust into the mantle has been greater than previously imagined. The current understanding of the growth of continents and the differentiation of the crust and the mantle of the Earth is reviewed based on a detrital zircon geochronology. One of the most important achievements arises from the analysis of the age structure of individual continents and secular changes over time. The new detrital zircon geochronology suggests that the sizes of the continents have changed over time, which has been an important factor in the growth of the continents. Large continents, such as the modern examples, can preserve older crusts in their interiors, which are separated from active continental margins. Conversely, in the early Earth, continents were probably formed by the amalgamation of small fragments of crust, such as oceanic island arcs. It is speculated that the smallness of the continents was the most significant cause of the poor preservation of Hadean and Archean crusts, despite putative expected active crustal production. Consequently, the recycling of the continental crust occurred in great magnitudes during the early Earth's history. The large-scale subduction of felsic crust represents one of the most important aspects in studies of the early Earth.

東京都日の出町坂本地域の蛇紋岩メランジュ露頭に伴って産する高圧型変斑れい岩および花崗岩類中のジルコンのU-Pb年代を測定した.高圧型変斑れい岩原岩の火成年代は約490Ma(カンブリア紀フロンギアン世~オルドビス紀前期)で,四国や九州の黒瀬川帯に産する類似岩石から報告された年代とよく一致する.花崗岩類の火成年代は約440Maで,約2,400-500Maの年代を持つジルコンも含まれている.本研究の年代測定から,当地域の岩石類は黒瀬川帯の構成要素であり,同帯の東方延長が東京都西部に存在することが再確認された.同地域からの古生代前期高圧型変斑れい岩および花崗岩類の産出は,当時,現在の九州から関東にかけての800km以上におよぶ弧-海溝系が発達していたことを示唆する.

Zircon is the only candidate of Hadean terrestrial material that can be collected because it can survive physically and chemically, as well as maintain its U–Pb age system during omnigenous geological events. However, Hadean zircons are rare, so many age analyses of zircons are required to isolate Hadean zircon grains. There are two ways to improve the analyses; decrease the time required for pre-analyzing processes and decrease the time required for age analysis. New equipment, high-voltage pulse power fragmentation device and automatic zircon pick-up system are effective for crushing rock sample and separating zircon grains, respectively, in a short time. Another potential age analysis, the 207Pb/206Pb age screening analysis, shows good performance in selecting old zircons quickly. Integrative operation of equipment and methods will result in successfully finding numerous Hadean zircons.
