Journal of metamorphic geology / Diachronous collision in the Seve Nappe Complex: evidence from Lu-Hf geochronology of eclogites (Norrbotten, North Sweden)
The collision of Baltica and Laurentia during the Caledonian Orogeny happened at c. 400–420 Ma. However, subduction and collision processes also took place before this main collisional phase and the tectonic history of these is still not fully resolved. The Seve Nappe Complex in Sweden has recorded...

The collision of Baltica and Laurentia during the Caledonian Orogeny happened at c. 400–420 Ma. However, subduction and collision processes also took place before this main collisional phase and the tectonic history of these is still not fully resolved. The Seve Nappe Complex in Sweden has recorded these earlier phases. The Seve Nappe Complex in Norrbotten (North Swedish Caledonides) comprises four superimposed nappes emplaced by eastward thrusting (from base to top according to the conventional structural interpretation): Lower Seve Nappe, Vaimok, Sarek, and Tsäkkok Lenses. Eclogites occur in the Vaimok and Tsäkkok Lenses. The Vaimok Lens represents rocks of the Baltican continental margin intruded by Neoproterozoic dolerite dikes which were later eclogitized and boudinaged. By contrast, eclogites of the Tsäkkok Lens are former oceanic basalts associated with calcschists, possibly representing the ocean–continent transition between Baltica and Iapetus.
