Abstract
The first detailed investigation of silicon isotope systematics in Archaean cherts shows that silicon isotope variability in 3.0-3.5 Ga cherts of the Pilbara craton is significant on sub-centimetre to kilometre scales. A total delta30Si range of -2.4 to +1.3‰ was established. The silicon isotope compositions were determined with high precision (
