    Abstract
    Subduction initiation in the Early Earth and the onset of plate tectonics are topics of wide interest in understanding the formation and evolution of continents and supercontinents on our planet.Here we report results from integrated petrological, geochemical and geochronological (Zircon Usingle bondPb ages) studies on an ultramafic-mafic complex from the Bondla-Usgao-Durigini (BUD) sectors of Goa to address its petro-tectonic evolution and correlation with Neoarchean crustal growth processes and cratonization events.The ultramafic-mafic cumulate sequence from BUD sectors of Goa comprising dunite, peridotite, troctolite, olivine gabbro and gabbro represents a dismembered crustal section of oceanic lithosphere formed either in a MOR or SSZ fore-arc extensional regime.The geochemical attributes marked by boninitic-IAT trend, depleted to enriched mantle compositions, selective enrichment in fluid-mobile LILE and LREE over HFSE enunciate a multistage petrogenetic evolution associated with a SSZ fore-arc tectonic setting.The ocean-continent transition featured by the geochemical signatures can be translated in terms of oceanic crust formation in a juvenile extensional fore-arc in a SSZ setting, its maturation and accretion at active continental margin during Neoarchean ocean basic closure and arc-continent collision.The studied ultramafic-mafic suite fingerprints the transition of depleted mantle wedge to a LILE-LREE enriched metasomatized one through influx of subduction components and hydrous arc magmatism typical of SSZ oceanic lithosphere formed above a nascent subduction zone.The magmatic precursors of the studied lithologies were derived from a transitional depleted to enriched mantle regime marked by hydration and metasomatism of a depleted MOR-type mantle by the influx of subduction-derived fluids.Zircon grains in the peridotite sample yield positive ?Hf(t) of +3.2 to +7.6, together with TDMC of 2610-2877 Ma suggesting depleted mantle source.The gabbro sample shows positive ?Hf(t) values of +3.7 to +6.3 and TDMC age of 2731-2868 Ma also attesting to depleted mantle source.Zircon Usingle bondPb ages of 2602.42 � 0.82 Ma for peridotite and 2479-2684 Ma for gabbro represent the magma emplacement time and Neoarchean-early Paleoproterozoic melt activity.The highly variable ages from zircon grains in the studied samples might suggest multiple stages of metasomatism and melt-rock interaction in a long-lived sub-continental lithospheric mantle.The tectonic evolution can be equated with Neoarchean global subduction-accretion-collision and arc-continent amalgamation events.This study deciphers a 2.6-2.5 Ga Neoarchean oceanic crust formation and magmatic response to subduction initiation, arc maturation and accretion processes correlatable with global crustal growth processes and amalgamation of western Dharwar Craton (WDC) and Antongil-Masora blocks into the Greater Dharwar Craton (GDC).
