Evidence of permafrost in the Paleoproterozoic (c. 1.9 Ga) of Central Sweden
Abstract This paper reports on an ice‐wedge pseudomorph that formed and is preserved in metavolcanic host material that was later transformed to metamorphic solid bedrock. It has been dated to 1,895 ± 5 Ma by U–Pb geochronology of zircon in the bedrock, an Early Proterozoic age.

1.88 Ga granitoids at Sorsakoski, Central Finland: A-type magmatism within the Raahe-Ladoga suture zone [PDF]
Four quartz monzonite – granite intrusions forming the Sorsakoski granite lithodeme, are found within the Raahe-Ladoga suture zone in Central Finland. The prevailing potassium feldspar megacrystic quartz monzonites and granites form a bimodal association

Mafic-ultramafic intrusions of Matokulma, Palojärvi, and Hongonniittu within the Central Finland Granitoid Complex with special reference to their petrogenesis and ore potential [PDF]
We describe three previously unknown or poorly studied mafic-ultramafic intrusions (Matokulma, Palojärvi, Hongonniittu) from the south-central part of the Paleoproterozoic Central Finland Granitoid Complex (CFGC).

Magnetite and ilmenite from some Finnish rocks [PDF]
Coexisting accessory magnetite and ilmenite -were separated and chemically analysed from five Finnish Precambrian rocks: anorogenic olivine diabase and gabbroanorthosite as well as three metamorphosed Svecofennian quartz diorites.

Seismic structure of the central Svecofennian lithosphere
Lithospheric structures in the Fennoscandian Shield in Sweden have been studied by a number of large-scale wide-angle seismic reflection/refraction (WARR) and normal-incidence reflection profiles since the 1960s. Among these were the over 2000 km long Fennoscandian Long Range (FENNOLORA) project in 1979 and the Baltic and Bothnian Echoes from the ...

The 1.88 Ga Kotalahti and Vammala nickel belts, Finland: Geochemistry of the mafic and ultramafic metavolcanic rocks [PDF]
The mafic and ultramafic volcanic rocks within the Svecofennian (1.88 Ga) Kotalahti and Vammala Nickel Belts, Finland, are spatially associated and coeval with a suite of mineralized mafic-ultramafic intrusions.

Structural observations and U-Pb mineral ages from igneous rocks at the Archaean-Palaeoproterozoic boundary in the Salahmi Schist Belt, central Finland: constraints on tectonic evolution [PDF]
The study area in Vieremä, central Finland, contains part of Archaean-Palaeoproterozoic boundary. In the east, the area comprises Archaean gneiss and the Salahmi Schist Belt. The rocks of the schist belt are turbiditic metagreywackes, with well-preserved
