The Sveconorwegian orogeny is a more than 250 Myr-long multiphase orogenic event that contributed to the amalgamation of Fennoscandia into Rodinia at the end of the Mesoproterozoic. We propose a new lithosphericscale tectonic model for the pre- to early Sveconorwegian orogenic evolution between 1280...
