Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Anoxia Events in “The Boring Billion”
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Isotope-geochronological study of Ingozero massive (the Kola Peninsula)
The Ingozero massive composed of Archeaen gneisses and granitoids is situated in the north-eastern part of the Belomorian mobile belt. The Ingozero massive petrochemical and geochemical characteristics are similar to those of tonalite-trondhjemite ...

The 3.5 Ga Siurua trondhjemite gneiss in the Archaean Pudasjärvi Granulite Belt, northern Finland [PDF]
In the Archaean Pudasjärvi Complex the pyroxene-bearing rocks are considered to form a belt, the Pudasjärvi Granulite Belt (PGB). The major rock types of the PGB are meta-igneous mafic and felsic granulites, and trondhjemite gneisses Red alaskites, white
