Zusammenfassung

Trotz früherer gegenteiliger Meinungen ist die südwestliche Randzone des Baltischen Schildes nach dem svecokarelischen kontinentbildenden Ereignis (2,2-1,8 Ga) entstanden. Das Initialstadium des Aufbaus (1,7-1,6 Ga) war durch Granitintrusionen in sowohl der Randzone als auch im schon kratonisierten Kontinent gekennzeichnet. Unter diesen Granitoiden findet man den chemischen Hauptunterschied zwischen kalk-alkalischen, differentierten Granitoiden westlich und alkali-kalkigen mehr strikt granitischen Gesteinen östlich einer intraorogenen „Sutur“ (der Mylonitzone). Dagegen sind die chemischen Unterschiede zwischen den verschiedenen alkali-kalkigen Graniten geringer, obwohl sie zu gleicher Zeit beiderseits einer intraorogenen Grenze (der Protoginzone) intrudiert sind. Es ist jetzt noch nicht möglich zu entscheiden, ob die Prozesse völlig aktualistisch waren, oder ob es sich um eine intrakratone (?) Vorvariante der plattentektonischen Prozesse handelt.

Abstract

Contrary to earlier opinions, the southwestern margin of the Baltic Shield was formed after the Svecokarelian orogenic event (2.2-1.8 Ga). During the initial stages of its formation (1.7-1.6 Ga), granitoid rocks intruded the southwestern margin and simultaneously also the already cratonized part of the shield. Among these granitoids, the most important chemical difference is between calc-alkalic differentiated granitoids to the west and alkalicalcic more evolved granites to the east of an intraorogenic “suture” (the Mylonite Zone). The chemical differences between alkali-calcic granites found on both sides of the interorogen boundary proper (the Protogine Zone) are less significant. As yet, a final choice cannot be made between wholly actualistic and non-actualistic, possibly intracratonic(?) variants of precursory plate-tectonic processes.

Résumé

Contrairement à certaines opinions antérieures, la bordure SW du Bouclier Baltique s'est formée après l'événement orogénique Svecokarelien (2,2-1,8 Ga). Les premiers stades de cette formation ont été marqués par l'intrusion de roches granitoïdes à la fois dans la bordure elle-même et dans la partie déjà cratonisée du bouclier. Parmi ces granitoïdes, on peut établir une distinction chimique importante entre des granitoïdes différenciés calcoalcalins et des granites alcali-calciques plus évolués, situés respectivement à l'ouest et à l'est d'une «suture» intra-orogénique (la Zone Mylonitique). La différence chimique est moins marquée entre les granites alcali-calciques situés de part et d'autre de la frontière interorogénique proprement dite. Il n'est pas encore possible actuellement de décider si la lithosphère s'est formée par un processus actualiste, ou par des processus intracratoniques (?) précurseurs de la géodynamique actuelle.

Краткое содержание

Вопреки ранее господ ствующему мнению док азывается, что юго-западная крае вая зона балтийского щит а образовалась после появления свекокарельского ма терика (2,2 1,3 мрд.). Начальная стадия (1,7 - 1,6 мрд.) ее образования характеризуется инт рузиями гранита в краевую зон у и в кратонизированн ый материк. Эти гранитоиды по сво ему химическому составу подразделяю т на кальциево-щелочн ые, дифференциированны е гранитоиды, расположенные запад нее внутриорогенног о „шва“ (зона милонизации) и щелочн о-известковые, истинные граниты, зал егающие восточнее эт ого „шва“. Но своему химическому составу щелочно-известковые граниты различаются незначи тельно, хотя они были интрудирова ны одновременно и зал егают по обе стороны „шва“ внутри орогена. На основании этих исс ледований нельзя око нчательно решить были-ли эти про цессы решающими, или они свя заны с тектоникой пли т.
