The tectonites confined to fault zones with abnormally high, up to 12 kbar, pressures, which appear to be the products of stress-metamorphism of relatively late stage of deformation-metamorphic evolution, are identified in the regionally metamorphosed Precambrian rocks of the Ladoga region. Most of these stress-metamorphites are localized in the Meyeri tectonic zone, separating the Svecofennian and Karelian geoblocks. The features of structure and composition of the two groups of stress-metamorphites belonging to the different stages of the deformation-metamorphic phase are described. Some parameters and trends in stress-metamorphism of each stage are defined.
