Abstract

The Precambrian Belomorian mobile belt located between the Karelian craton and the Lapland–Umba granulite belt contains large amount of small rootless mafic–ultramafic intrusions, which are dispersed over a large area and distinguished as the Belomorian drusite (coronite) complex. U-Pb dating of magmatic zircon and metamorphic rutile from the drusite body on Vorony Island showed that it was crystallized at 2460 ± 11 Ma and metamorphosed at 1775 ± 45 Ma. Petrographic and geochemical data confirm that the parental magmas of the drusites belong to the siliceous high-magnesian (boninite-like) series, which also was responsible for the formation of large layered plutons in stable domains of the Baltic Shield.
