Skjerpet ligger i tett granskog (plantefelt) omlag 300 m nord for gården Sørli og er ikke lett å finne. Det består av en grunn synk, 2.5 x 2.5 m vid og 3 m dyp. Tippvolumet er ca. 30 kbm. Mineralisering består vesentlig av magnetkis og magnetitt tilknyttet en finkornet, dels båndet kvartsitt, dvs. chert med mørk-grønn Fe-rik kloritt, gruneritt og granat. I skjerpet opptrer en sentralsone av magnetkis med underordnet magnetitt og spredt pyritt i en matriks av kvarts, kloritt og granat. Denne sonen er omlag 0.5 m mektig og er omgitt av magnetittrik kvartsitt. Magnetitt er i disse sonene anriket i bånd og slirer 1-10 cm mektige i mer ren chert. Pyritt er anriket i sonene mellom den sentrale magnetkis-dominerte sonen og de omgivende magnetittsonene. Hele den mineraliserte sonen er omlag 1 m mektig. I heng for mineraliseringen opptrer tuffittisk klorittskifer, mens en blotning 7 m i ligg for skjerpet består av kvarts-sericitt-klorittskifer med mm-store, spredte krystaller av magnetitt.

Abstract:

Frie emneord: Lagdelt, Malmgenese Five strata-bound massive sulphide deposits are situated at three different stratigraphic levels in the volcanogenic Fundsjø group in the Folldal area. The deposits are hosted in metabasalts, metarhyodacites and volcanoclastic rocks and belong to the Cu-Zn class of volcanic-associated massive sulphide deposits. The metal content of the deposits indicates that the sources of metals are underlying strata, possibly with a contribution from intrusives. Wall rock alteration varies according to differences in host rocks, and is probably a result of chemical variations of the host rocks, temperature differences and proximity to the hydrothermal vent. The clustering of deposits in the Folldal area is considered to be due to the occurrence of a large sub- volcanic trondhjemitic intrusion which acted as the major heat engine for convection. The small size of the deposits might be related to the shallow level of the intrusion.
