Abstract

Domes of presumed basement (> 2500 Ma) appear near Luleå, southeastern Norrbotten, northern Sweden. The stratigraphy of this area is briefly described and a tentative outline of the general geology around the Gulf of Bothnia is given, stressing the importance of block faulting for the present distribution of geological units.
