A sample of fine-grained grey Stockholm granite from the Frescati area just north of central Stockholm, east-central Sweden, earlier dated to 1803 +23/−19 Ma by the U-Pb zircon method using TIMS on multigrain fractions, has been reanalyzed using the Nordsim ion microprobe. The new age obtained, 1792±4 Ma, is more precise, and replaces the earlier highly discordant date. It agrees well with other ages for the formation of the Stockholm-type granites and related pegmatites, indicating an age of around 1.79 Ga for this late-orogenic Svecofennian granite magmatism. The Stockholm granite thus formed toward the end of the 1.83–1.79 Ga late Svecofennian metamorphic phase, and crosscuts earlier formed migmatitic gneiss structures in a brittle manner at the present-day level of exposure.
