THE RAPAKIVI GRANITE PLUTONS OF BODOM AND OBBNAS,

SOUTHERN FINLAND: PETROGRAPHY AND GEOCHEMISTRY

KOSUNEN, PAULA 1999. The rapakivi granite plutons of Bodom and Obb-
näs, southern Finland: petrography and geochemistry. Bulletin of the Geologi-
cal Society of Finland 71, Part 2, 275-304.
The Obbnäs and Bodom granite plutons of southernmost Finland show the
typical petrographic and geochemical features of the Proterozoic rapakivi gran-
ites in Finland and elsewhere: they cut sharply across the 1900 Ma Svecofen-
nian metamorphic bedrock and have the geochemical characteristics of sub-
alkaline A-type granites. The Bodom pluton is composed of porphyritic gran-
ites (hornblende-, hornblende-biotite-, and biotite-bearing varieties) and an even-
grained granite that probably represent two separate intrusive phases. This litho-
logic variation does not occur in the Obbnäs pluton, which is almost entirely
composed of porphyritic hornblende-biotite granite that gradually becomes more
mafic to the southwest. Three types of hybrid granitoids resulting from magma
mingling and mixing occur on the southwestern tip of the Obbnäs peninsula.
The Bodom granites are syenogranites, whereas the composition of the Obbnäs
granite varies from syeno- to monzogranite. The main silicates of both the Bo-
dom and Obbnäs granites are quartz, microcline, plagioclase (An 1541 ), biotite
(siderophyllite), and generally also amphibole (ferropargasite or hastingsite). Pla-
gioclase-mantled alkali feldspar megacrysts are absent or rare. The accessory
minerals are fluorite, allanite, zircon, apatite, and iron-titanium oxides; the Obb-
näs granite also contains titanite. The Bodom and Obbnäs granites are metalu-
minous to weakly peraluminous, with average A/CNK of 1.00 and 1.05, respec-
tively, have high Fe/Mg (average FeO tot /[FeO tot +MgO] is 0.94 for the Bodom
and 0.87 for the Obbnäs granites), and high Ga/Al (3.78 to 5.22 in Bodom and
2.46 to 4.18 in Obbnäs). The REE contents are high with LREE-enriched chon-
drite-normalized patterns and moderate (Obbnäs) to relatively strong (Bodom)
negative Eu-anomalies. The Obbnäs granite is enriched in CaO, TiOz, MgO, and
FeO, and depleted in Si0 2 and K 2 0 compared to the Bodom granites. Also, there
are differences in the Ba, Rb, and Sr contents of the two plutons (Ba and Sr
higher, Rb lower in Obbnäs) that cannot easily be traced to single parental granite
magma. These features, together with the presence of titanite in the Obbnäs plu-
ton, suggest different sources for the granites of the two plutons: a potassium
feldspar-rich source for Bodom and potassium feldspar-poor for Obbnäs.
