The Salittu Formation in southwestern Finland, part II: Picritic-basaltic volcanism in mature arc environment [PDF]
Svecofennian orogen that contain ultramafic rocks. New samples were collected from the picritic and basaltic rocks as well as spatially associated gabbroic rocks, and their major and trace element compositions are presented and discussed here.

Geology of giant quartz veins and their host rocks from the Eastern Pyrenees (Southwest Europe)
Giant Quartz Veins (GQVs) are ubiquitous in different tectonic settings and, besides being often related to hydrothermal ore deposits, also represent large-scale fingerprints of the structural and geochemical history of the rocks in which they are hosted.

The Pyhäntaka formation, Southern Finland: A sequence of metasandstones and metavolcanic rocks upon an intra-orogenic unconformity [PDF]
Detrital zircon studies suggest that the few quartzite occurrences in southern Finland are younger than 1.87 Ga and express sedimentation after 1.89–1.87 Ga accretional deformation and metamorphism in the Svecofennian orogenic belt.

Stratigraphy of the central parts of the Palaeoproterozoic Tampere Schist Belt, southern Finland: review and revision [PDF]
The arc-type Palaeoproterozoic volcanic-sedimentary Tampere Schist Belt (TSB), close to the centre of the Svecofennian Orogen, comprises an E-W-striking major synform in its central parts.

Field, petrological and LA-ICP-MS U-Pb geochronological data of metavolcanic rocks were used to interpret the petrological processes and to propose the tectonic setting for the Mundo Novo greenstone belt (MNGB) in the eastern São Francisco Craton.

THE NEOPROTEROZOIC ISLAND-ARC ASSOCIATION OF THE MUKODEK GOLD-ORE FIELD, NORTHERN BAIKAL AREA
Metamorphosed volcanic rocks of the Ushmukan suite were studied in the Mukodek gold-ore field located in the Baikal-Muya belt in the Northern Baikal area, Russia. The Ushmukan suite shows interleaving of ortoschists which compositions are widely variable.

The Encantada Granite: registration of a peraluminous intrusion in the Rondonian Province - San Ignacio, in SW Amazonic Craton, Mato Grosso, Brazil [PDF]
The Encantada Granite occurs on the extreme southwest of the state of Mato Grosso, SW of the Amazonian Craton, near the border of Brasil/Bolívia. It corresponds to an body oriented to NNW direction that intruded metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks ...
