Abstract

Svecokarelian migmatites in the Jussarö area of the southern Finnish archipelago comprise tonalitic gneiss, amphibolite, metagabbro, microgranite, the metamorphosed derivatives of sediments, including carbonates and graded argillites, together with later-emplaced potassic granite, and basic and acidic pegmatites. The rock assemblage shows evidence of repeated deformation; a succession of 15 sets of folds (and fold-related structures) is identified and documented. There are two sets of early intraf oliai isoclinal folds (Faa and Fab), isoclinal folds (Fbr), recumbent folds (Fx), upright open folds (Fy), tight upright folds (Fbb), two sets of asymmetrical folds (Fc and Fd), ‘scar’ folds (Fb1, Fcb Fd1), slip folds Fb, conjugate shear folds (Fe), angular folds (Fn), open warps (Fw) and tight ductile shears (Fds). From isotopie evidence reported elsewhere, the evolution of this crustal segment of the Svecokarelides is known to have spread over a period of approximately 200 m.y. from c. 1900 m.y. to c. 1700 m.y.
