Geologists have discovered part of an ancient lost continent by sifting through diamond samples from Canada’s Baffin Island. By analyzing the samples, analysts identified part of the North Atlantic craton, a remnant of the Earth’s ancient continental crust that stretched from Labrador to Scotland. Adjacent ancient cratons in Northern Canada—in Northern Quebec, Northern Ontario and in Nunavut—have completely different mineralogies.”Kopylova is the lead author of the research paper, published in the Journal of Petrology. Last year, scientists announced the discovery of the world's deepest land canyon thousands of feet below an Antarctic glacier. The research was presented this week at the Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco and published in the journal Nature Geoscience.
