1. 1. A key fold structure within a Sveconorwegian eclogite-bearing deformation zone in Halland, south-western Sweden : geometry and tectonic implications

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Author : Brendan Dyck; [2011]
   Keywords : Sveconorwegian; fold nappe; eclogite; Ätran area; U-Pb geochronology; Domino-Theriak; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Retro-eclogites and associated high-pressure rocks are found in the Ullared area, southwest Sweden. These rocks are evidence of the high-pressure deformation which occurred during the formation of the c. 500 km long Sveconorwegian orogenic belt around one billion years ago. READ MORE

3. 2. Metamorphic rocks in a section across a Sveconorwegian eclogite-bearing deformation zone in Halland : characteristics and regional context

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Author : Brendan Dyck; [2010]
   Keywords : Ullared Deformation Zone; retrogression; high-grade metamorphism; Sveconorwegian; Eclogite; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Eclogitized mafic bodies in the Ullared Deformation Zone (UDZ) of SW Sweden are evidence for high-pressure metamorphism and deformation related to continent collision during the Sceconorwegian orogeny. A petrographic study was performed on ten samples taken from a profile transecting the UDZ, with the aim of further characterizing the rocks within the eclogite bearing deformation zone. READ MORE
