TL;DR: The continental crust of the Baltic Shield was formed between 3.5 and 1.5 Ga ago during four periods of orogenic activity as mentioned in this paper, during which an extensive area of tonalitic-trondhjemitic crust was generated.

TL;DR: A new image of the Precambrian in the northeastern half of Europe has been created by recent work in the Baltic Shield and its continuation in the basement of the East European Platform, which can be traced to a Proterozoic system of palaeorifts in the Eastern European Platform.

TL;DR: The evolution of the western and eastern parts of the East European Craton followed very different paths from ca. 1.7 and 1.6-Ga to 1.4-Ga as discussed by the authors, and the differences of tectonic regime in the east and western parts of this Craton were determined by the movement and rotation of this megaterrane concomitantly with the Rodinia assembly.

TL;DR: In this paper, the isotopic results show that there are no Archaean crustal blocks within the studied 1.9-1.7 Ga old crustal segment in the Transscandinavian Granite-Porphyry Belt.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Central Belarus Suture Zone is identified as the junction between the two colliding segments, which is marked by strong deformation of the crust and the presence of a metamorphic core complex.
