Timing of sedimentation, metamorphism, and plutonism in: The Helgeland Nappe Complex, north-central Norwegian Caledonides
None The Helgeland Nappe Complex consists of a sequence of imbricated east-dipping nappes that record a history of Neoproterozoic- Ordovician, sedimentary, metamorphic, and magmatic events. A combination of U-Pb dating of zircon and titanite by laser-ablation- inductively coupled plasma-mass spectro...
