Hybridization in the subvolcanic Jaala-Iitti complex and its petrogenetic relation to rapakivi granites and associated mafic rocks of southeastern Finland [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1995
The 1630 Ma Jaala-Iitti complex is an example of bimodal rapakivi granite magmatism in which the interaction of granite and diabase magmas have led locally to hybridization.

A specialized topaz-bearing rapakivi granite and associated mineralized greisen in the Ahvenisto complex, SE Finland [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1991
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.

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 ...

REE-bearing minerals in the Rapakavi Grante, Southern Finland

open access: yesOpen Geosciences, 2015
The studied rock samples belong to the classic1615–1645 Ma Wiborg Rapakivi granite terrane of southeasternFinland. Geochemical studies show that the rapakivigranites and associated rocks form metaluminousto peraluminous A-type granites and plot in the ...

Rapakivi texture in the Mount Scott Granite, Wichita Mountains, Oklahoma

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Mineralogy, 1996
Mount Scott Granite is the largest recognized A-type sheet granite of the Cambrian Wichita Igneous Province, southwestern Oklahoma. Despite surprising compositional uniformity over a substantial areal extent, Mount Scott Granite can be subdivided into ...

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 ...
