Reconstruction of the physical volcanological processes and petrogenesis of the 3.5Ga Warrawoona Group pillow basalt of the Warralong Greenstone Belt, Pilbara Craton Western Australia

This research attempts to address some knowledge gaps in the formation of the Archean in age Warralong greenstone belt in the East Pilbara terrane, through geochemical and petrographic analysis. This research also addresses the possible formation mechanisms for Ocelli, a liquid immiscible texture observed in pillow lavas throughout the East Pilbara terrane and Archean greenstone belts throughout the world.
