SCHIST BELT OF TIPASJÄRVI IN THE PARISH OF SOTKAMO, FINLAND

ABSTRACT

The basement complex of eastern Finland near the schist belt of Tipasjärvi, the rocks of the schist area (arenites, argillites, amphibolites and ultrabasic rocks), the late kinematic granites and the dikes of the Tipasjärvi district are described. The tectonics of the schist belt is described and the position of the schist area in the evolution of the bedrock in eastern Finland is discussed. It is suggested that the schist belt of Tipasjärvi might be a part of the formations deposited on the basement but which are older than the Karelian (Sariolan, Jatulian, Kalevian) formations. Other schist areas of the same age are, perhaps, those of and Ilomantsi.

occurs which is called here basal schist. It is a medium-grained and schistose rock grading into the basement and arenites. The basal schist prob- ably originated tectonically when the schist belt and the basement have sheared against each other.

Meta-arkose. Only two outcrops of meta-arkose are found, both of which are situated about 100 m from the basement. Thus, unfortun- ately, the relation between the meta-arkose and the basement cannot be established. The matrix of the meta-arkose is macroscopically brownish gray. It consists of quartz, plagioclase, micas, chlorite, epidote and opacite. Whitish quartz and Fig. 1.
