Rapakivi Granites and Related Rockstells the story of Rapakivi granites, a group of granitic rocks characterized by specific texture (presence of plagioclase-mantled ovoidal to subhedral alkali feldspar megacrysts, two generations of quartz and feldspars) and A-type geochemical composition. The book includes research and abundant geochemical and isotopic data combined with an understanding of geotectonic processes that allow more detailed tectonic and petrological modeling of rapakivi granite magmatism and associated ore mineralization. Well-known examples are found as anorogenic or post-orogenic batholith- to stock-sized intrusive complexes in the Precambrian cratons of Ukraine, Fennoscandia, South Greenland, Canada, United States, Brazil, Venezuela and Siberia. The current knowledge of the rapakivi granites is largely based on the achievements of three International Geological Correlation Programme projects: IGCP 315 (Rapakivi Granites and Related Rocks) in in 1991 1996, IGCP 426 (Granite Systems and Proterozoic Lithospheric Processes) in 1998 2002, and IGCP 510 (A-type Granites and Related Rocks Through Time) in 2005 2009. After these projects, the research has continued actively utilizing enhanced geochemical methods, in situ geochemistry in particular. Includes more than 200 figures with full color geological maps and photographsFeatures chapters dealing with metallogeny and mineral deposits which will be useful for those working in exploration and mining companiesPresents a discussion of Paleomagnetism of rapakivi granites which can be used to reconstruct ancient supercontinents and to decipher their evolution | Rapakivi Granites and Related Rocks by Ilmari J Haapala, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
