Age and structural constraints on the tectonic evolution of the Paleoproterozoic Saimaa orocline in Fennoscandia

The Paleoproterozoic oroclines of Fennoscandia played a vital role in the making of continental equidimensional crust during the Svecofennian orogeny. We propose that the 1.90–1.88 Ga arc rocks in south-central Finland originally formed a single linear arc system that is now represented by the coupl...
