| Abstract |
| Bugge (1905) beskriver at "Kalkstenen kan iagtges på Blindemsneset, og den breder sig fladt faldende lag paa de østligste Blindemsgårde. Udover Blindemsnesset drager flere parallelle lag sig langs en lunvik med fortræffelig havn." I følge Bugge (1905) og Bøckman (1967) skal draget ved Spjelkavik fortsette østover mot Ekorn (Eikenos?) og Emblem til Magerholm, men med bakgrunn i mer moderne berggrunnsgeologiske kart er det mer sannsynlig at det er fra Blindheim som fortsetter mot øst-sørøst. |

| Kalkovn på Blindheim i Sykkylven, bygget av tyske murere for Heinrich Schmidt i forbindelse med bybrannen i Ålesund 1904. Kalken ble brutt fra nærliggende kalkforekomst som nå er bebygd.. |
| Historic |
| I følge Heltzen (1996) ble kalkovnen trolig oppført i 1870-årene og ble lagt ned i 1903. |

| Abstract: | |
| Forkortet: In the present paper it is shown, that the Romsdalen, in the Northwestern part of Norway in the Algonkian Formation, there occur some extensive beds of lime- stone which are more fit for the carbide- and sulphite-industry than those of the Oslo region. Limestone also occurs in the environs of Trondheim and in the Northern part of Norway here occurring together with some dolomites and they commonly show rather a high percentage of magnesia. Limestones also occur in the Southern and the Western part of Norway ( Kristiansand-Stavanger-Bergen). The author has made 8 analyses of limestone from Romsdalen (p.8). Besides on pp. 10 and 11 there will be found analyses from the Oslo region, on p.13 from Northern Norway and on p.14 from the environs of Trondheim. In Romsdalen the limestone contains the following minerals: quartz, scapolite, white mica, oligoclase, apatite, pyrite, graphite, garnet, pyroxene, amphibole, biotite and occasionally a green mica. The structure of these Algonkian limestones ahow partly those features which are common with contact-metamorphic marble, partly those which are common with regional-metamorphic marble, and they are therefore likely to possess an intermediate character. |

| Forkortet: Diese Arbeit zerfällt in vier Hauptabschnitte. 1. Über die Geologie des Marmors (S.4-18). 2. Über die wichtigsten Eigenschaften des Marmors, mit besonderer Rücksicht auf die norwegischen Marmorarten daneben über Betrieb usw der Brüche (S. 18-158). 3. Über die wichtigsten norwegischen Marmorfelder, hauptsächlich in der nord- norwegischen Glimmerschiefer-Marmor-Gruppe (S. 159-268); weiter in den Trondheim-schen Schiefern (S. 269-282): im Grundgebirge (S. 282-291); in der Bergen-schen Schiefern (S. 291-296), und Contactmarmor in dem Oslo-Gebiet (S. 296-303). 4. Zum Schluss eine wirthschaftliche über die Marmorproduction der Welt und über die Entwicklung der norwegischen Marmorindustrie. |
