We study the P–T conditions and age of metamorphic evolution of the rocks that make up the Korvatundra structure in the northeast of the Fennoscandian Shield. The rocks underwent progressive metamorphism of the amphibolite facies at 625–660 ºC and 8.7–8.8 kbar 1945 ± 34 Ma (Sm–Nd data). The pegmatite cutting the metamorphic paragenesis that formed at this stage has an age of 1917 ± 6 Ma (zircon U–Pb data). Metamorphic transformations after 1917 Ma are manifested locally as discrete zones of blastomylonites in the rocks of the northern part and some inner sites of the Korvatundra structure. Both local increases and decreases in temperature and pressure are possible in these zones. The formation of light titanite with an age of 1863 ± 44 Ma marks the next stage of shear strain. Low-temperature alterations (chloritization and silicification) took place in the zones of final deformations 1722 ± 5 Ma (Rb–Sr data). Beginning from 1.94 Ga, the general deformational and metamorphic history of the Korvatundra structure, Lapland Granulite Belt, and Tana Belt confirms the assumption of the formation of a single inverted metamorphic zoning within the Korvatundra structure and the overlying Lapland–Kolvitsa Collision Belt in the Paleoproterozoic. The obtained data supplement the idea of the Paleoproterozoic geodynamic evolution of the Lapland–Kola orogen.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
