“…3) differ in age by 20-50 Ma (see data in Johansson 1988;Larson & Berglund 1992;. As the TIB-rocks are interpreted to have formed in relation to a destructive plate boundary at the western margin of the Svecofennian region (Johansson 1988;Zuber & Öhlander 1990), the age difference is interpreted to reflect that this new destructive plate margin was initiated earlier to the south than to the north . Although the available geochronologic database is limited, the present data from fourpetrologically different sample suites seem to indicate a north-south rather than an east-west age zonation of the Svecofennian region.…”
