Scientific paper

New data are presented from the Archaean high-grade gneiss complex of the Godthab region of southern West Greenland, which show that discrete tectonic units recognized in the south of the region can be more widely identified. At least four terranes are recognized, each of which evolved separately until their juxtaposition in the late Archaean. This suggests that at least some Archaean high-grade gneiss complexes may resemble more recent orogenic belts formed by plate-tectonic processes.
