Abstract
The Palaeoproterozoic Era spans the time interval between 2500 and 1600 Ma (Plumb 1991) and it is the early part of this time slice, from 2500 to 1900 Ma, that is the focus of our research on the Fennoscandian Shield. Between c. 2505 and 1900 Ma, two main stages of southwest-prograding intraplate rifting led to fragmentation of the Shield and eventually to oceanic crust development, closure of ocean basins, continent-arc collisions and resultant orogenies. Figure 3.22 provides a general guide through the tectonic and associated palaeogeographic stages and Figs. 3.23, 3.24, 3.25, 3.26, 3.27, 3.28, and 3.29 illustrate the main rock types representing the salient features of the early Palaeoproterozoic evolution of the Fennoscandian Shield.
