Геолого-геоморфологические аномалии на севере Европы

Аннотация

Data are given on most conspicuous geologic and geomorphic anomalous features in the European North-West, including masses detached by glaciers, remnants of sedimentary cover removed considerably from areas of its continuous distribution, placanticlines, Paleozoic intrusive bodies. Most close attention is paid to ice-detached blocks and remnants of «lalien» rocks found at a distance of tens and hundreds of kilometers from areas of the rocks in question. Such anomalies are of interest for paleogeographic reconstructions. In particular, they indicate that a sedimentary cover existed on the Baltic shield during the Paleozoic, and provide evidence for significant glacial erosion at the latest stage of the geologic history.
