I vegskjæringen ute på Kvitneset er det en veksllagning mellom grå båndet urein og hvit middelskornet kalkspatmarmor. Den hvite kalkspatmarmoren virket homogen og lite forurenset. Den har stedvis diffuse grå flammestrukturer. De grå flammestrukturene består i hovedsak av finfordelt grafitt. Foliasjonen i den grå ureine kalkspatmarmoren er N 20° Ø og fall 40° Ø. Prøve merket Ø98 - 30. Dagbok OØ1998.

Abstract:
Prøver av kalk-dolomittbåndene langs nordsiden av Langvatnet. Prøvebeskrivel- sen antyder små mektigheter (-10 m), sterke foldinger og vekslinger med vesentlig glimmerskifer. Beskrives dels som uren. I alt 14 analyser presenteres.
