Abstract Isotopic data on the Proterozoic Svecofennian bedrock of south-central Sweden are reviewed. Interpretation of the results by various radiometric methods establishes the ages of the syn-orogenic and late-orogenic igneous events to be 1.89–1.85 Ga and 1.80–1.78 Ga, respectively. Early volcanism is possibly 15–20 Ma older than the syn-orogenic intrusions at 1.87–1.85 Ga. During the time-span from 1.85 to 1.80 Ga deformational and metamorphic processes initiated anatectic melting producing veined gneisses and migmatites. Rocks formed during this time interval have not been dated. The late-orogenic granites and associated pegmatites have ages in a narrow interval of 1.80–1.78 Ga. The origin of the Svecofennian rocks is discussed on the basis of Sm-Nd data. The sedimentary rocks have a considerable portion of older crustal material but in all the igneous rocks a mantle-derived component dominates. Genetic models imply that the late-orogenic igneous rocks crystallized from mobilized granitic material fo...
