REE patterns for apatites from Proterozoic phosphatic metasediments, Finland [PDF]
Several occurrences of uranium- and apatite-bearing metasediments are known in the Precambrian of Finland. The characteristic rock types in the occurrences: metaphosphorite, apatite-bearing carbonate and calc-silicate rocks and apatite-quartz-feldspar ...

P‐ and S‐Wave Velocities of Exhumed Metasediments From the Alaskan Subduction Zone: Implications for the In Situ Conditions Along the Megathrust [PDF]
The in situ state and properties of sediments entrained along subduction megathrusts exert key controls on their mechanics and slip behavior. Low seismic velocity and high Vp/Vs are hypothesized to indicate highly elevated fluid pressure, and are invoked

In subduction zones, the locked seismogenic zone is bordered by an upper and a lower transition zone. In these transition zones, deformation is primarily accommodated by an interplay of diffuse viscous deformation within a weak matrix and brittle ...

Rheology of Metasedimentary Rocks at the Base of the Subduction Seismogenic Zone
The Arosa Zone, Central Alps, represents a Cretaceous to Paleogene fossil subduction interface from paleodepths of 10 to >35 km. Metasedimentary schists directly below a preserved seismogenic zone exhibit viscous (foliations, folds, and lineations) and ...

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.

A revision of the Proterozoic-Archean boundary of the Northern Bothnian schist belt with a discussion of the geochemistry of related basic metavolcanics [PDF]
Geophysical analysis suggests the need for a revision of the eastern border of the early Proterozoic Northern Bothnian (or Kiiminki) schist belt. Recent geological field work has revealed places where the discordance and hiatus between Proterozoic and ...

On the Karelides in the Tohmajärvi area, eastern Finland [PDF]
The evolution of the Karelides in the Tohmajärvi area is discussed. The Karelidic schists (metasediments) are devided into two stratigraphic groups, the Jatulian and the Kalevian, which likewise represent two different sedimentation facies.
