Archean greenstone belts and their possible inclusion of fragments of ophiolites is an im-portant research subject, since it is correlated with the nature of early oceanic crust, and can yield in-formation on the nature of early planetary lithospheres, the origin of TTG （tonalite-trondhjemite-granod...
