Ming Tang coauthored work using the chemical record of ancient rocks to investigate the evolution of continental crust. The study infers changing bulk composition from elemental ratios that remain informative after weathering and alteration.[ref]
This turns preserved chemical evidence into a test of early crustal growth. It also requires distinguishing a change in inferred composition from a uniquely established global onset date for plate tectonics.
