Fe-Ti oxide body in the Håland anorthosite, close to the contact between the Håland and Egersund-Ogna anorthosites and the "norito-granitic" zone (P. Michot, 1960) separating the two. The registered sample (544) is "Bergarkivet" ore collection reg#: 188. A 50 long and 3-4 m wide zone has been exploited (See Tidemand, 1929 in Carlson, 1945)
