| Abstract: | Precambrian basement lithology, as exposed in four tectonic windows of the northcentral Scandinavian Caledonides, comprises uniform sequences of metasedimentary mica schists and gneisses (Børgefjell) as well as mica schists dominated by acid metavolcanics (Bångonåive) with minor basic rocks. The major part, however, is made up of intrusive rocks. Older granites are distributed in the Børgefjell area and to the east of it, obviously related to the Svecofennian Revsund granites. Younger granodiorites/quartzsyenites, subordinate in the Børgefjellet, dominate the Bångonåive window. The Bångonåive area may be tentatively correlated with the Skellefte field, the Børgefjellet with the marine basin of Central Norrland. The younger intrusives may represent marginal parts of a post-Svecofennian orogen farther west. Caledonian deformation considerably affected the Precambrian basement in the tectonic windows, where pre-Caledonian features are only preserved in the innermost parts. A (pre-Caledonian) polyphase structural and metamorphic evolution is evident in both the Børgefjell and Bångonåive windows. Penetrative deformation and medium (?) grade metamorphism prior to acid intrusions were overprinted during succeeding lower grade phases. |
