Boulder of orbicular rapakivi in Taivassalo, southwestern Finland [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1983
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.

Remanent magnetization of two intrusive bodies in southeastern Finland [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1978
Direction of natural remanent magnetization (NRM) was measured for a diabase from the intrusive contact of rapakivi granite (1650 Ma) and for a granodiorite intrusion (1810 Ma).

Geoheritage Meaning of Artificial Objects: Reporting Two New Examples from Russia

open access: yesHeritage, 2021
Geoheritage is not necessarily linked genetically to “purely” geological processes. Investigations in two urban areas of Russia allowed us to find essentially artificial objects demonstrating certain geological uniqueness.

Rapakivi granites [PDF]

open access: yesGeology Today, 2007
Rapakivi granites, especially the famous rapakivis from southern Finland, are some of the most attractive building and decorative stones, used world‐wide because of their striking textures and beautiful colours. But rapakivi granites are more than just building material, they have also been studied scientifically for over 100 years to try to explain ...

Rb-Sr whole-rock isotopic study of late Archaean and early Proterozoic granitoid intrusions, Kainuu, Eastern Finland [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1988
A tonalite-granodiorite-granite suite emplaced during the late Archaean D3 deformational phase yields a six point isochron age of 2,500 ± 270 Ma and an initial 87Sr/86Sr of 0.7044 ±0.0018.

Reconstructing Depositional Rates and Their Effect on Paleoenvironmental Proxies: The Case of the Lau Carbon Isotope Excursion in Gotland, Sweden

open access: yesPaleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 35, Issue 12, December 2020., 2020
Abstract Variations in depositional rates affect the temporal depositional resolutions of proxies used for paleoenvironmental reconstructions; for example, condensation can make reconstructed environmental changes appear very abrupt. This is commonly addressed by transforming proxy data using age models, but this approach is limited to situations where

Petrogenesis and implications of the Dupangling compound granite in southern Hunan Province, China: Constraints from mineralogical chemistry, zircon U-Pb age, geochemistry and Nd-Hf isotope

open access: yesDizhi lixue xuebao, 2022
In this paper, zircon SHRIMP U-Pb geochronology, petrology, mineral chemistry, petrogeochemistry, Sm-Nd and Lu-Hf isotopes were studied for the eastern part of the Dupangling pluton, which is located at the western section of Nanling at the junction of ...

The 1.24–1.21 Ga Licheng Large Igneous Province in the North China Craton: Implications for Paleogeographic Reconstruction

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 125, Issue 4, April 2020., 2020
Abstract Detailed geochronological, geochemical, and paleomagnetic studies of mafic dyke swarms, often associated with mantle plumes, can provide unique constraints on paleogeographic reconstructions. Mafic dykes with baddeleyite U–Pb ages of 1,233 ± 27 Ma (SIMS), 1,206.7 ± 1.7 Ma (TIMS), 1,214.0 ± 4.9 Ma (TIMS), and 1,236.3 ± 5.4 Ma (TIMS) have been ...

Triplite and wolframite from a greisen-bordered veinlet in Eurajoki, SW Finland [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1969
Triplite and wolframite are described from a greisen-bordered veinlet associated with the local varieties of the Laitila rapakivi granite massif. The chemical analysis, unit cell dimensions and specific gravity are given for these minerals, and in ...
