Abstract

The earliest recognisable folds (F1) in the Seve nappe in the Åre area in the central Swedish Caledonides include a phase of co-axial refolding (F1A and F1B). These isoclinal, tight reclined or recumbent folds are parallel to the principal mineral lineation and mylonitic striation. There is a set of tight, reclined folds (F2) which refold the mineral lineation and F1 hinges at large angles. The open F3 folds refold the F2 hinges at small angles. In addition to the above structures, there is also a set of open, upright folds (F1) with axes parallel to the mineral lineation (and to F1) which is younger than F1. The time-relation of these F1 folds to the F2 folds is not clear. The field evidence indicates that F1B and later folds have developed during different stages of thrusting. The period of migmatization and high-grade metamorphism within the nappe has overlapped with the period of development of the F1 and F2 structures.
