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

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

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 ...
