Petrogenetic processes in the ultramafic, alkaline and carbonatitic magmatism in the Kola Alkaline Province: a review [PDF]
Igneous rocks of the Devonian Kola Alkaline Carbonatite Province (KACP) in NW Russia and eastern Finland can be classified into four groups: (a) primitive mantle-derived silica-undersaturated silicate magmas; (b) evolved alkaline and nepheline syenites; (

Geochronology of sillimanite-cordierite gneiss Atamanovo series of the South Yenisei Ridge (Russia)
The paper provides justification of Paleo Archaean age (3221 ± 15 Ma) of the granulite plutonic metamorphism that formed the Kan metamorphic complex of the Archaean crust in the Angara-Kan block of the Siberian craton. The age was defined on the basis of
