Trans-Baltic Palaeoproterozoic correlations towards the reconstruction of supercontinent Columbia/Nuna
A comparative study of the central and southern parts of the Palaeoproterozoic Svecofennian orogen in the Baltic/Fennoscandian Shield and the platform area to the east and south of the Baltic Sea indicates that at least these parts of the orogen are built up of several NW-SE trending, 100-300 km wid...
