The Ljusdal Batholith is a group of plutons in central Sweden formed during the Svecofennian orogeny. The batholith occupies a NW-SE elongated area of c. 130 x 100 km covering most of Hälsingland. [1] The Ljusdal Bathoilith is mostly made up of granitoids with lesser amounts of mafic intrusions. [2]
The plutons of the batholith crystallized from magma 1840 to 1860 million years ago in Paleoproterozoic times at an ancient convergent boundary. [2]
