Miarolitic cavities in rapakivi granite on Hästholmen, Loviisa, southeastern Finland [PDF]
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1987 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 ...

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

Secular Evolution of Continents and the Earth System
Reviews 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)
Resource 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.

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

Terra 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.
