  • ANNEX 2 Geological Heritage and Summary
    ANNEX 2 Geological heritage and summary SUMMARY Platåbergens Geopark is situated in the southwest Swedish gneiss terrane of the Fennoscandian shield, cover ing the Swedish table mountain landscape. Several remarkable and unique geological features are easily access ible in the geopark, together representing a time span of around 1.7 billion years. The main attractions are the 15 classic table mountains, which has been an important area for geological research since 18th century. The table mountains themselves are relicts of Palaeozoic cover of sedimentary bedrocks and stands out as prominent features in the landscape. Underlying the table mountains is the sub-Cambrian peneplain, which is well preserved and well visible in the aspiring geopark area. The region also contains landforms created during two of the most important events during the late Quaternary of Sweden; the Younger Dryas cold interval and the drainage of the Baltic Ice Lake. E.1.1 Geological heritage and conservation General geological description of the aUGGp THE PRECAMBRIAN continental accretion. Five to six orogenies can be sorted The Swedish Precambrian bedrock was formed over a very out which contributed to the construction and modification long time. The crustal growth started at about 2.8 billion of the bedrock in different parts of Sweden. Finally, at 1.5 Ga years ago in the very north of the country and finished in the ago, the craton was established although later magmatism southwest at 1.5 billion years ago; that is more than 1 billion and metamorphic overprinting occurred. years of crust construction. The crust formation is character- In the geopark area the principal crust was formed at 1.7 ised by repeated accretions forming the oldest rocks in the to 1.6 Ga ago, although later covered by sedimentary rocks present northernmost Sweden to the present western part and intruded by mafic intrusions and granitoids.

Our compilation is based Received in revised form 18 July 2013 on digitization of original seismic profiles and Receiver Functions from ca. 650 publications which provides a Accepted 4 August 2013 dense regional data coverage. Exclusion of non-seismic data allows application of the database to potential Available online 15 August 2013 field modeling. EUNAseis model includes Vp velocity and thickness of five crustal layers, including the sedimen- tary cover, and Pn velocity. For each parameter we discuss uncertainties associated with theoretical limitations, Keywords: Moho regional data quality, and interpolation. Crustal thickness By analyzing regional trends in crustal structure and links to tectonic evolution illustrated by a new tectonic map, Crystalline crust we conclude that: (1) Each tectonic setting shows significant variation in depth to Moho and crustal structure, Sedimentary cover essentially controlled by the age of latest tectono-thermal processes; (2) Published global averages of crustal pa- Pn velocity rameters are outside of observed ranges for any tectonic setting in Europe; (3) Variation of Vp with depth in the Crustal evolution sedimentary cover does not follow commonly accepted trends; (4) The thickness ratio between upper-middle (Vp b 6.8 km/s) and lower (Vp N 6.8 km/s) crystalline crust is indicative of crustal origin: oceanic, transitional, platform, or extended crust; (5) Continental rifting generally thins the upper-middle crust significantly without changing Vp.

  • Keuper (Late Triassic) Sediments in Germany 193
    NORWEGIAN JOURNAL OF GEOLOGY Keuper (Late Triassic) sediments in Germany 193 Keuper (Late Triassic) sediments in Germany – indicators of rapid uplift of Caledonian rocks in southern Norway Josef Paul, Klaus Wemmer and Florian Wetzel Paul, J., Wemmer, K. & Wetzel, F. 2009: Keuper (Late Triassic) sediments in Germany – indicators of rapid uplift of Caledonian rocks in southern Norway. Norwegian Journal of Geology, vol. 89, pp 193-202, Trondheim 2009, ISSN 029-196X. K/Ar ages of detrital Keuper micas in the Central European Basin provide new information about the provenance of siliciclastic sediments. All sam- ples of the Erfurt Formation (Lower Keuper) and the Stuttgart Formation (Middle Keuper) indicate Caledonian (445 - 388 Ma) ages. These sedi- ments originate from the Caledonides of southern Norway. The older Fennoscandian Shield and the Russian Platform did not supply any material. In combination with zircon fission track data, we show that uplift of the Caledonides of southern Norway accelerated dramatically during the Car- nian, most likely as a result of rifting of the Viking Graben. This push of Scandinavian-derived sediments ceased in the Upper Keuper (Rhaetian). Instead of Scandinavian sediments, micas of Panafrican age were transported from southeast Poland and Slovakia into the Central European Basin. Only micas in the vicinity of the south German Vindelician High and the Bohemian Block have Variscan ages. J. Paul, K. Wemmer, F. Wetzel: Geowiss.
