Transitioning from Svecofennian to Transcandinavian Igneous Belt (TIB) magmatism in SE Sweden: Implications from the 1.82 Ga Eksjö tonalite

The Eksjö intrusion forms a major tonalitic body in the Oskarshamn-Jönköping belt (OJB), SE Sweden. This is a NW-SE unit of dominantly intermediate granitoid intrusions, bound by felsic rocks of the Transscandinavian Igneous Belt (TIB). Previous U-Pb data for the Eksjö tonalite (1754±10 Ma) implied that subduction-related magmatism occurred in SE Sweden during a period of time when other data required that such magmatism had already moved further west. New U- Pb zircon dating establishes that the Eksjö tonalite crystallised at 1823±2 Ma and that subduction-related, granitoid magmatism of the OJB occurred in the 1834-1823 Ma interval. Field observations and geochemistry implies fractional crystallisation in either a continental arc or a mature island arc system. Although major portions of the Eksjö intrusion are well preserved, it is cut by NW-trending shear zones attributed to block-related movements that remained active until at least 1.80 Ga. Available constraints for the OJB support models of recurring convergent-margin tectonism along the southwestern margin of Baltica between 1.85-1.82 Ga and, hence, prior to onset of voluminous TIB 1 magmatism (1.81-1.77 Ga). Such a scenario accounts for recurring deformation in SW Finland (1.84-1.80 Ga), broadly coeval deformation in south-central Sweden, and apparent steps in Moho depths between the OJB and the pre-1.85 Ga margin of Baltica.
