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 ...

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 ...

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.

Evolution of migmatitic granulite complexes: Implications from Lapland Granulite Belt, Part II: Isotopic dating [PDF]
The migmatitic metapelites of the Lapland granulite belt (LGB) in the NE part of the Fennoscandian Shield represent an arc-related greywacke basin metamorphosed in the granulite facies. Detrital zircons from migmatitic metapelites are derived from 1.94 −

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

The Lapland greenstone belt: Stratigraphic and depositional features in northern Finland [PDF]
The Lapland greenstone belt formed in a continental environment, as a result of rifting of the 3.1—3.0 Ga Saamian craton. The basin subsided to a depth of five kilometres between 3.0—2.5 Ga and contains a sequence which is subdivided into Lower, Middle ...
