Scandinavian Caledonides is a physiographic province of the European continent, located in the northern reaches of the Western Uplands, on the western side of the Fennoscandia peninsula, adjacent to the Fennoscandian Shield formation. The geological province extends across most of Norway and includes adjacent parts of Sweden. The geography is made up of late Proterozoic to Silurian metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks, deposited in the Iapetus Ocean about 700 to 400 million years ago. - AsNotedIn
