Cover Story: Leeman et al. present direct evidence of the presence of Meso-to-Neoarchean (~3.1 to 2.4 Ga) granulite basement terranes beneath the northern margin of the Snake River Plain (SRP), extending cratonic North America westward, from near the Yellowstone eruptive center to at least as far west as the Mountain Home area and, possibly, parts of the Owyhee Mountains in southwestern-most Idaho. This interpretation is based on the laser-ablation ICP-MS dating of zircons extracted from crustal metamorphic xenoliths carried to the surface by SRP volcanic eruptions. The photographs show (1) outcrops of a xenolith locality on Square Mountain (near Fairfield, Idaho), where clusters of xenoliths up to a 2–10 m dimension occur, and (2) cathodoluminescence images of selected zircons extracted there.
