Boulder of orbicular rapakivi in Taivassalo, southwestern Finland [PDF]
A boulder of an orbicular rapakivi was found in Taivassalo, close to the southern contact of the Vehmaa rapakivi area in southwestern Finland. Many features, e.g.

A specialized topaz-bearing rapakivi granite and associated mineralized greisen in the Ahvenisto complex, SE Finland [PDF]
The Ahvenisto rapakivi complex is a satellite northwest of the large Wiborg rapakivi batholith in Southeastern Finland. The rapakivi rocks are surrounded by rapakivi-age gabbros, anorthosites, monzodiorites and diabases.

Weathering in the Wyborg rapakivi area, southeastern Finland
Field survey of weathering sites in the Wyborg rapakivi area indicates that saprolites are far more common in the central part of the massif than in the marginal areas. Many till‑covered saprolites and parautochthonous crust‑tills prove the weathering to

Miarolitic cavities in rapakivi granite on Hästholmen, Loviisa, southeastern Finland [PDF]
Miarolitic cavities are described from drill cores taken from rapakivi granite on Hästholmen, an island about 80 km east of Helsinki. The distribution of cavities between different textural types of rapakivi seems to favour the equigranular medium to ...

Magmatic constraints on localization of natural stone deposits in the Vehmaa rapakivi granite batholith, southwestern Finland [PDF]
The 1580–1570 Ma old Vehmaa rapakivi granite batholith was studied with the aim to define the geological constraints for localization of natural stone deposits in the batholith.

Sediment Characteristics in Stonewort <i>Chara Tomentosa</i> Assemblages. [PDF]
The study investigated sediment characteristics associated with Chara tomentosa. The results show that sediment grain size and the concentration of the dissolved phosphate in the porewater differ in the seafloor areas characterised by C. tomentosa from adjacent areas at similar depth, but without charophytes.

Earth's anomalous middle-age magmatism driven by plate slowdown [PDF]
The mid-Proterozoic or "boring billion" exhibited extremely stable environmental conditions, with little change in atmospheric oxygen levels, and mildly oxygenated shallow oceans.

The formation, storage, and evolution of granitic magmas are fundamental processes driving the growth of continental crust. While traditionally attributed to crystal fractionation in high‐melt fraction magma chambers, the model invoking low‐melt fraction

Fluid history from crystal cavities in rapakivi, Pyterlahti, southeastern Finland [PDF]
The crystal cavities lined with quartz, feldspars, biotite, fluorite and a number of accessory phases occurring in the Haikonvuori pyterlite quarry in the Wiborg rapakivi massif were studied with mineralogical, petrographical and chemical methods ...
