Archean terranes are generally poorly exposed and structurally complicated, making models of geological evolution difficult to establish. Because of pervasive metamorphism, strong deformation, and poorly exposed bedrock, the stratigraphy, geochronology, and geological evolution of the northeastern part of the Archean Western Karelia Subprovince, Finnish Lapland, is still deficient. Three new U-Pb age determinations were made using the LA-ICP-MS method on zircon in search of more profound understanding of the geochronology of the area. Data from the Pultoselkä granite yield an age of 2795±5 Ma, providing a minimum age of 2.8 Ga for the Tulppio suite. The age is coeval with widespread 2.74–2.70 Ga granitoids of the Karelia Province, likely representing the same magmatic event. The data from the Kontioselkä pegmatite define a maximum age for the pegmatite and a minimum age for mafic volcanic rocks in Kontioselkä at 1781±27 Ma. The age coincides with major deformation and metamorphism in the Karelia Province around 1.76 Ga. Zircon from the Jänesselkä mafic-ultramafic complex yields a minimum age of 2425±17 Ma, complying rather well with the 2.5–2.4 Ga mafic layered intrusions of the northern Fennoscandian Shield. Our new data show that the Archean of the northeastern part of the Western Karelia Subprovince was affected by Proterozoic thermal events more extensively than thus far perceived.

Glaciofluvial ice-contact deltas were mapped and altitudes of the highest shorelines defined in the eastern arc of the Salpausselkä zone, southern Finland, using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR)-based digital elevation models and GIS tools. Mapping of deltas and the highest shorelines in the Salpausselkä zone were undertaken in order to calculate and define the glacio-isostatic uplift palaeo-isobases, uplift gradients and equidistant diagrams (distance diagrams) for the Salpausselkä zone. The results indicate that the glacio-isostatic uplift palaeo-isobases were orientated NE-SW (50°–230°) and the uplift gradients for both the First and the Second Salpausselkä in the eastern arc, are virtually the same, namely 0.6 mkm-1. This suggests that both Salpausselkä ridge complexes, which were originally laid down in front of the Finnish Lake District Ice Lobe (FLDIL) in relatively shallow water, were deposited within a short time period during the Late Weichselian Younger Dryas Stadial. The results also suggest that the Baltic Ice Lake water level regressed 7.5 metres from Baltic Ice Lake level B I to level B III as the ice retreated in its eastern arc from the First to the Second Salpausselkä.

The Finnish soapstone industry has found through practical experience that the surface of the magnesite soapstone used in fire chambers and funnels hardens over time. We have studied a magnesite soapstone used in a fireplace continuously for 60 years. The mineralogical changes, that took place during heating and subsequent cooling of the fireplace have been investigated with electron probe microanalyzer and X-ray diffractometer to find an explanation, what kind of reactions caused the hardening. We found that ferromagnesite has been altered to pseudomorphic aggregates composed of ferropericlase and magnesioferrite in the nearest ~30 mm from the surface exposed to fire. Iron has been mobilized in the uppermost 3 mm, enriched in the rims, and depleted from the cores of the ferropericlase aggregates. Magnesioferrite occurs preferably in the fire chamber side of the aggregates in the uppermost 0.20 mm. Talc rims are altered to forsterite and/or enstatite in the reaction with ferromagnesite or its alteration products in the uppermost ~1 mm. In addition, wood combustion gases caused considerable enrichment of zinc and potassium in the chamber surface rock to the depth on 0.20 mm and 3 mm, respectively. The enrichment occurred by crystallization of Zn bearing ferropericlase and magnesioferrite and by crystallization of K bearing sheet silicates.

The 1.64 Ga Ahvenisto complex, southeastern Finland, is an anorthosite-mangeritecharnokite-granite (AMCG) suite in which diverse interaction styles of coeval mafic and felsic magmas are observed. Commingling, resulting in mafic pillows and net-veined granite dykes, and chemical mixing producing hybrid rocks, are the most common interaction types. Detailed description of the factors that controlled the interaction styles and relationships between involved rock types are provided using targeted mapping, petrography, and geochemical analyses complemented by chemical mixing and melt viscosity modeling. Interaction occurred at intermediate stages in the magmatic evolution of the complex: when the last fractions of mafic (monzodioritic) melts and the earliest fractions of felsic (hornblende granitic) melts existed simultaneously. Differentiation of mafic magma has produced three monzodioritic rock types: 1) olivine monzodiorite (most mafic, Mg# 49–40), 2) ferrodiorite (Mg# 42–33), and 3) massive monzodiorite (most evolved, Mg# 28–27). The types form an evolutionary trend, and each exhibits different style of interaction with coeval hbl-granite resulting from contrasting conditions and properties (temperature, viscosity, composition). The variation in these properties due to magma evolution and relative proportions of interacting magmas dictated the interaction style: interaction between olivine monzodiorites and granite was almost negligible; ferrodiorites intermingled forming pillows with granitic veins intruding them; and chemical mixing of massive monzodiorite and hbl-granite produced hybrid rocks.

The Ylitornio area in northern Finland is a typical example of a poorly outcropping, multiply deformed, complex Precambrian terrain. U–Pb, Sm-Nd and geochemical data from metavolcanic, metasedimentary and plutonic rocks combined with structural data define the lithodemic units and tectonostratigraphy of the area. The Mellajoki, Martimo, Hosiojoki, Kierovaara and Uusivirka suites form the Ylitornio nappe complex. Although main thrust stacking had occurred between 1.92– 1.89 Ga, later reverse faulting probably continued until 1.78 Ga. The Väystäjä bimodal volcanic rocks (2.09–2.05 Ga) from the Martimo suite are plume-related EMORB-OIB rocks formed during a continent breakup. The Kaskimaa greywacke of the Martimo suite is inferred to represent sedimentation in a deepening rift basin in the continental margin. The coeval Hosiojoki felsic rocks with A-type affinity and the Kierovaara suite granites (2.00–1.98 Ga) represent dry melting of a dominantly 2.1–2.05 Ga contaminated mafic underplate, and hydrous melting of both the mafic underplate and a refractory lower crust of Archean age, respectively. The older rocks of the Uusivirka suite are early-collisional (1.92–1.91 Ga) and derived from poorly mixed local sources, whereas younger psammite-pelite associations (Ristivuoma) are syn-collisional (1.91– 1.89 Ga) and derive from multiply recycled and thoroughly mixed sources.

Formation of dunes in the Płock Basin of the Vistula River valley in Central Poland is connected with the aeolian processes that occurred within the European Sand Belt during the Late Pleistocene. Changes in sedimentation conditions, from fluvial (unit G1), to fluvio–aeolian (unit G2) then to aeolian (unit G3), were respectively recorded in the fluvioglacial terrace sand dune profiles in the village of Goreń Duży (the Płock Basin, Central Poland). Both fluvial and aeolian processes occurred in the periglacial zone of the last glaciation, the northern limit of which is defined by the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), being 18.4 ka in the Płock Basin. River and ice-marginal valley terrace sand sediments, in association with glacial deposits, could be the source material for the studied aeolian bedforms. The results of morphoscopic analysis of dunal sand quartz grains indicate that rapid deposition occurred more often than did long-term longrange grain transport. Grain transport genesis begins during the Older Dryas, which is confirmed by optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating performed for unit G2: 13.06±0.76 ka and 13.54±0.84 ka. During dune formation, dead-ice blocks remained intact in a subglacial channel until the Allerød, which suggests that aeolian processes continued after block melting, throughout the Younger Dryas. Successional aeolian processes have resulted in the extensive dune fields of the Płock Basin.

Changes in sedimentation conditions, from fluvial (unit G1), to fluvio–aeolian (unit G2) then to aeolian (unit G3), were respectively recorded in the fluvioglacial terrace sand dune profiles in the village of Goreń Duży (the Płock Basin, Central Poland). Both fluvial and aeolian processes occurred in the periglacial zone of the last glaciation, the northern limit of which is defined by the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), being 18.4 ka in the Płock Basin. River and ice-marginal valley terrace sand sediments, in association with glacial deposits, could be the source material for the studied aeolian bedforms. The results of morphoscopic analysis of dunal sand quartz grains indicate that rapid deposition occurred more often than did long-term longrange grain transport. Grain transport genesis begins during the Older Dryas, which is confirmed by optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating performed for unit G2: 13.06±0.76 ka and 13.54±0.84 ka. During dune formation, dead-ice blocks remained intact in a subglacial channel until the Allerød, which suggests that aeolian processes continued after block melting, throughout the Younger Dryas. Successional aeolian processes have resulted in the extensive dune fields of the Płock Basin.","PeriodicalId":55302,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42922240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
