Isotopic timing of the magmatic and metamorphic events at the turn of the Archean and Proterozoic within the Belomorian belt, Fenno-Scandinavian shield
It is proved that dating high-grade metamorphism events through dating of migmatites is quite efficient. Our investigation has made it possible to identify two events of 2500 and 2700 Ma and to estimate the ag...
