A Timanian foreland basin setting for the late Neoproterozoic–Early Palaeozoic cover sequences (Dividal Group) of northeastern Baltica
LA-ICP-MS U–Pb and Hf-isotope data on detrital zircons from the Ediacaran and Cambrian Dividal Group demonstrate that the autochthonous cover sequence above the Fennoscandian Shield in northernmost Scandinavia is not derived from an easterly Archaean and Palaeoproterozoic source within Baltica as co...
