Abstract
Augen gneisses were emplaced as phenocryst-bearing granodiorites at 10 40 +/- 40 Ma to the west of the Sveconorwegian belt (Rogaland-Vest-Agd er, SW Norway) just before the main Sveconowegian (Grenvillian) metamo rphic event. They define a typical K-rich calc-alkaline trend. Initial Sr and Nd isotopic ratios are close to Bulk Earth values at 1040 Ma: (I-sr = 0.7036 and average epsilon(Nd) = + 0.3). Average initial Pb is otopic values of 11 K-feldspar phenocrysts are (Pb-206/Pb-204)(i) = 17 .06 and (Pb-207/Pb-204)(i) = 15.46. The augen gneisses contain ultrapo tassic gabbroic inclusions of calc-alkaline lamprophyric composition. The geochemical evolution of the augen gneiss series can be accounted for by fractional crystallization, without contamination by surroundin g banded gneisses, of a magma resulting from the mixing between ultrap otassic, mantle-derived mafic magma (20-25%) with a granodioritic magm a generated in the lower crust. Accessory minerals (apatite, zircon, t itanite, allanite) control the behavior of most trace elements. In Rog aland-Vest-Agder, the Sveconorwegian granitoids (1040 to 930 Ma) show a systematic geochemical evolution with time. They display an increase of Is, (0.7036 to 0.709), of FeOtot/MgO ratio (2.2 to 18) and Zr cont ent (360 to 900 ppm). This evolution corresponds to an increase in the partial melting temperature together with an increase of the proporti on of upper crustal component. The calc-alkaline affinity of the augen gneisses implies that a subduction-related geodynamic regime prevaile d just before the main Sveconorwegian event. The Sveconorwegian cycle ends by the emplacement of A-type charnockitic granites.
