This study presents two new zircon U-Pb age determinations from the Archean Kukkola Gneiss Complex (KGC) that straddles the border between Finland and Sweden. The results indicate that crystallization of tonalites within the magmatic core of the complex occurred at 2711±8 Ma, somewhat earlier than previously considered. A new pulse of magmatism occurred at 2675±10 Ma as demonstrated by hornblende-tonalites cutting the 2.71 Ga rocks. The results further indicate that the first deformation event responsible for development of penetrative foliations occurred after the first magmatic event at 2.71 Ga and prior to the subsequent tectonothermal event at 2.68 Ga. These findings are in concert with the known major periods of magmatism (2.8–2.7 Ga) and deformation (2.7 Ga) within better-known Archean domains in northern Fennoscandia, and hence support their correlation with KGC. Three complementary age determinations on the Haparanda-suite granites and tonalites were conducted: the results indicate crystallization ages of 1.90–1.89 Ga, overlapping with the known age range of the suite and supporting its predominance over the 1.8 Ga Lina suite granites in the TornioHaparanda area.","PeriodicalId":55302,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland","volume":"92 1","pages":"19-38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47679860","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}

They exhibit trace element characteristics and whole-rock εNd(2050 Ma) values (from +2.6 to -1.3) consistent with derivation by differentiation of mantle-derived mafic magmas with variable interaction with crustal material. The mineralization is localized in 0.1to 1.4-m-thick dikes (Katajakangas) and a 30to 50-m-thick sheet-like body (Kontioaho), containing allanite-(Ce), zircon, titanite, and Nb-REE-Th-U oxides. Their wall rocks are composed of ca. 2.06 Ga peraluminous monzogranite, which is genetically unrelated to the mineralized rock units, as evidenced by whole-rock chemical and Sm-Nd isotope data and zircon U-Pb geochronology. Instead, the mineralization is linked to the nearby peralkaline to metaluminous alkali feldspar granite magmatism dated at ca. 2.04–2.05 Ga. The development of REE-HFSE enrichment in the mineralized rock units required extensive crystallization of a peralkaline granite magma, producing residual metaluminous, highsilica melts enriched in REE-HFSE, Ca, and Fe relative to Na, K, and Al. The REE-HFSE and Ca enrichment was further promoted by volatile complexing with dissolved F-, CO3 2and SO4 2-. These highly evolved melts were parental to the mineralized dikes and the sheet-like intrusive body, which were emplaced into the monzogranite capping the intrusions of peralkaline granite.","PeriodicalId":55302,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland","volume":"92 1","pages":"39-71"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47088802","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}

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.

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.","PeriodicalId":55302,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2019-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41364504","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}

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.","PeriodicalId":55302,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2019-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41925578","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}
