The Danish island Bornholm on the southwestern margin of the Baltic Shield was subject to dyke injection during the Proterozoic. The dykes probably result from several magmatic events. We present U-Pb geochronological data for the largest of the dykes, the tholeiitic Kelseaa dyke. The resulting age, 1326 ±10 (2σ) Ma, places the dyke significantly earlier in the Proterozoic than previously assumed. No other dykes of this age have been reported from the western part of the Baltic Shield. The NE–SW strike of the Kelseaa dyke is evidence for extension oblique to the border of the Baltic Shield.The Kelseaa dyke is the first evidence for this event that was subsequent to the emplacement of theBornholm and Karlshamn (SE Sweden) granites and prior to the intrusion of the Central Scandinavian Dolerite Group, and possibly also the majority of mafic dykes on Bornholm.

AbstractGeological investigations of a part of the crystalline basement in the Baltic Sea have been performed on a drill core collected from the depth of 1092–1093 m beneath the Phanerozoic sedimentary cover offshore the Latvian/Lithuanian border. The sample was analyzed for geochemistry and dated with the SIMS U–Pb zircon method. Inherited zircon cores from this migmatized granodioritic orthogneiss have an age of 1854 ± 15 Ma. Its chemical composition and age are correlated with the oldest generation of granitoids of the Transscandinavian Igneous Belt (TIB), which occur along the southwestern margin of the Svecofennian Domain in the Fennoscandian Shield and beneath the Phanerozoic sedimentary cover on southern Gotland and in northwestern Lithuania. It is suggested that the southwestern border of the Svecofennian Domain is located at a short distance to the SW of the investigated drill site. The majority of the zircon population shows that migmatization occurred at 1812 ± 5 Ma, with possible evidence of disturbance during the Sveconorwegian orogeny.
