Layered intrusions are fossilized natural laboratories that historically have constrained many
fundamental principles of igneous petrology. Layered intrusions are typically stratiform …

In the present paper, we have compiled data on 565 layered and differentiated igneous
intrusions globally, documenting their (i) location,(ii) age,(iii) size,(iv) geotectonic setting,(v) …

Rare examples of Phanerozoic komatiites are found in the Song Da zone, NW Vietnam.
These komatiites were erupted through continental crust and may belong to the SE …

Late Archean (ca. 2.73 Ga) porphyritic high-K and high-Mg granitoids in the Nilsiä and
Lieksa areas, eastern Finland, have geochemical signatures similar to those of high-Mg …

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the Paleoproterozoic rocks, particularly the
Central Lapland greenstone belt, which runs as an almost uninterrupted zone from northern …

Publisher Summary Dike swarms hold one of the keys to the interpretation of plate tectonics,
as they provide information on the extensional processes occurring both in the continental …

There are two 300–500 km long belts of Palaeoproterozoic layered intrusions in the Baltic
(Fennoscandian) Shield; the Northern (Kola) Belt and the Southern (Fenno-Karelian) Belt …

The aim of this paper is to review the main features of the Meso-Neoarchaean Belomorian
eclogite province (BEP) in the northeastern Fennoscandian Shield, including regional and …

Abstract In the Archaean Pudasjärvi Complex the pyroxene-bearing rocks are considered to
form a belt, the Pudasjärvi Granulite Belt (PGB). The major rock types of the PGB are …

Petrologists are still trying to solve the 'anorthosite problem', which was first identified by NL
Bowen in 1917 and revolves around the uncertainty surrounding the petrogenesis, tectonic …
