Neoarchean (2.8–2.5 Ga) and Paleoproterozoic (2.5–1.6 Ga) crust preserves a record of major crustal growth events, the oldest supercontinent assemblies, and the likely transition to modern plate tectonics. The Lofoten–Vesterålen area in Norway underwent a multistage tectono-magmatic history from the Neoarchean to the Paleoproterozoic. In this region three main components are distinguished: 1) a granulite facies zone (GFZ); 2) an amphibolite facies zone (AFZ); and 3) an anorthosite-mangerite-charnockite-granite (AMCG) suite. New zircon U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotope data are used to investigate the evolution of this 2.7–2.6 and 1.9–1.8 Ga crust and evaluate how the developments fit in the global context of Earth’s crustal evolution. In-situ LASS–MC-ICPMS analyses were conducted on zircons to simultaneously determine U-Pb ages and Hf isotope compositions. Solution Hf isotope compositions were additionally obtained on zircons previously dated by ID-TIMS. In general, there is a good agreement between solution and in-situ data. Samples from the GFZ and AFZ both yield Neoarchean (2.7–2.6 Ga) and Paleoproterozoic (1.9–1.8 Ga) populations. Neoarchean populations have εHf(i) of +0.9 to −0.3; Paleoproterozoic populations have εHf(i) around −16 and −7 at ∼1.80 and ∼1.87 Ga, respectively. The AMCG suite was emplaced in two magmatic pulses: the early one at 1.87–1.86 Ga characterized by εHf(∼1.87 Ga) ∼ −7, and the main pulse at 1.80–1.79 Ga has εHf(∼1.80 Ga) between −4.0 and −15.0. Metamorphic overprinting recorded within the GFZ and the AMCG at ∼1.80 Ga is absent in the AFZ, supporting the hypothesis of a tectonic boundary between these domains. The Hf isotope compositions suggest that Paleoproterozoic magmatism was sourced from a combination of juvenile material and incorporated ancient crust, probably in variable proportions, as suggested by the variation in the isotope composition of the AMCG suite. Broadly chondritic Hf isotope compositions in Neoarchean rocks indicate the absence of significantly older crust as a source component. Main crustal growth events recorded in the Lofoten–Vesterålen area coincide with global age peaks and zircon Hf isotope record. The AMCG suite was emplaced during the Columbia supercontinent assembly. Neoarchean and Paleoproterozoic crust in the Lofoten–Vesterålen area exemplifies the elevated preservation potential in collisional tectonic settings.
