The Shahewan rapakivi-textured granite-quartz monzonite pluton, Qinling orogen, central China: Mineral composition and petrogenetic significance [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2002
The Mesozoic Shahewan pluton consists of four texturally different types of biotite-hornblende quartz monzonite. In the porphyritic types alkali feldspar occurs as euhedral or ovoidal megacrysts that are often mantled by one or more plagioclase shells ...

The interplay of bedrock fractures and glacial erosion in defining the present‐day land surface topography in mesoscopically isotropic crystalline rocks

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 48, Issue 10, Page 1956-1968, August 2023., 2023
In this paper, we link natural fractures with outcrop morphologies and apply the findings in understanding the glacial erosion signatures in crystalline rocks. Abstract This paper addresses the effect of fractures within crystalline bedrock on glacial erosion processes in fast flowing hard bed glacier environments. In particular, we examine (i) whether

Induced Earthquake Source Parameters, Attenuation, and Site Effects From Waveform Envelopes in the Fennoscandian Shield

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 128, Issue 4, April 2023., 2023
Abstract We analyze envelopes of 233 and 22 ML0.0 to ML1.8 earthquakes induced by two geothermal stimulations in the Helsinki, Finland, metropolitan area. We separate source spectra and site terms and determine intrinsic attenuation and the scattering strength of shear waves in the 3–200 Hz frequency range using radiative transfer based synthetic ...

Secular Evolution of Continents and the Earth System

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 60, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Understanding of secular evolution of the Earth system is based largely on the rock and mineral archive preserved in the continental lithosphere. Based on the frequency and range of accessible data preserved in this record, we divide the secular evolution into seven phases: (a) “Proto‐Earth” (ca. 4.57–4.45 Ga); (b) “Primordial Earth” (ca. 4.45–

Review on geology and mineralization of North Korea (I: Precambrian)

open access: yesResource Geology, Volume 71, Issue 4, Page 492-513, October 2021., 2021
The Precambrian geotectonic provinces of North Korea contain continental cores and massifs, active continental margins, and rift zones. The Precambrian strata between the eastern North China Craton (NCC) and North Korea are newly correlated considering rearranged stratigraphy in this review.

Reconstructing craton‐scale tectonic events via in situ Rb‐Sr geochronology of poly‐phased vein mineralization

open access: yesTerra Nova, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 502-510, October 2021., 2021
Abstract Fault‐ and fracture‐hosted multi‐stage mineral assemblages that formed by fracture reactivation and fluid migration, constitute archives of the tectonic evolution of Precambrian cratons. Complex intergrowth patterns of these mineral records often hinder absolute dating of mineralization events for geological models.

The Mullnäset rapakivi granite, its chemical and mineralogical composition including a comparison with the Sörvik granite, west central Sweden. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This contribution presents complimentary mineralogical and whole-rock chemical data for the Mullnäset rapakivi massif. Three rock types occur: gabbro, syenite with associated granite and “normal” rapakivi granite, here denoted rapakivi-textured granite ...

Plagioclase-mantled K-feldspar in the Carboniferous porphyritic microgranite of Altenberg-Frauenstein, Eastern Erzgebirge / Krušné Hory [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2002
The Upper Carboniferous porphyritic microgranite of Altenberg-Frauenstein, formerly known as Granitporphyr (Dalmer 1896) and here abbreviated as GP, forms a 36 km long and up to 18 km wide complex of ring dykes related to the Teplice-Altenberg caldera in

Crustal development in relation to granitic magmatism in regard to D/H partition between coexisting hornblende and biotite in the Svecofennian belt [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1993
Tie-lines in the σD-XFe diagram of hornblende and biotite in Japanese island arc granites give commonly a similar slope to that derived from the equation of Suzuoki-Epstein's experimental work (1976).

The rapakivi granite plutons of Bodom and Obbnäs, southern Finland: petrography and geochemistry [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1999
The Obbnäs and Bodom granite plutons of southernmost Finland show the typical petrographic and geochemical features of the Proterozoic rapakivi granites in Finland and elsewhere: they cut sharply across the 1900 Ma Svecofennian metamorphic bedrock and ...
