Abstract

Oxygen isotopes provide a unique possibility to study Earth's late accretion phase from a lithophile element perspective, because most carbonaceous chondrites - meteorites that likely resemble the composition of the terrestrial late veneer - have markedly different Delta O-'17 values than the silicate Earth. Ultramafic rocks in the early Archean assemblage of southwest Greenland have not incorporated the full amount of late accreted materials, and therefore possibly record the Delta O-'17 of the mantle before late accretion. We measured O-17/O-16 and O-18/O-16 ratios of olivine from these ultramafic rocks and compared them with olivine from post-Archean mantle petidolite. A missing late veneer component was not resolved. The missing component from the early Archean mantle is therefore restricted to <= 0.12 % of Earth's mass (M-circle plus) for most carbonaceous chondrite-like materials, unless the missing component resembles CI chondrites - the only car- bonaceous chondrites with Delta O-'17 values similar to those of the silicate Earth. If the early Archean mantle had incorporated 60 % late veneer, the overall late accreted mass would be restricted to <= 0.3% M-circle plus for most types of carbonaceous chondrites, with a more massive late veneer only possible for CI-like chondrites.
