Vaalbara Lyrics


Lithostigraphic structural arrays reveal

the supercontinent's existence often disputed

a three fold stratigraphic similarity leads

to reconstructions of ancient latitudes

extensional faults during felsic volcanism

both coeval with impact layers

paleomagnetic data showing igneous complexes

of what could have once been part of the same

a pattern found in Precambrian cover sequences

granite greenstone belts show evidence

of meteorite impacts into spherules of glass

akin to lunar soil carbon chondrules

traced in the membrane organelles of eukaryotes

coded in the blue algae of Cyanophyta

molecular clocks and fossil photosynthesis

biomarkers have found their way through rocks

to discover the missing Archaean link

between twin transcontinental basins

two cratons drifting apart from each other

across four billions years wide oceans
