| Værlandet ligger ytterst i havgapet vest for Askvoll i Sogn og Fjordane. Grønnsteinsbreksjen på Værlandet ligger i overgangssonen mellom grønnstein og konglomerat. Den er hardere enn disse og danner derfor oppstikkende rygger i terrenget. Mektigheten varierer fra 0 - 70 m Breksjen består av kantete bruddstykker av en nesten svart grønnstein som av og til inneholder dyp rød jaspis. Bruddstykkene er vanligvis mindre enn 10 cm og i gjennomsnitt omkring 4-5 cm. Matriks er en middelskornet, grålig grønn sandstein. Bergarten tar polering meget godt. Produkter som leveres: Vindusbrett, benkplater til kjøkken og bad, trappestein, terassestein, murbekledning, hyller og plater til ulike bruk, flis, gravmonument etc. |

| Abstract: | |
| The main tectonostratigraphic units within the Melvær and Askvoll map-areas are: Precambrian basement rocks, allochthonous Precambrian charnokitic- mangeretic rocks of the Dalsfjord Nappe; allochthonous mainly Cambro-Silurian rocks of the Stavfjord Nappe; Devonian sedimentarty rocks. A description of the different rock types are given. Brief descriptions are also given of the tectonic structures occurring in the area and of the metamorphism of the different units. The Dalsfjord Nappe was thrust towards the south-east, probably in Early Ordovician time, and was strongly eroded before thrusting of the Stavfjord Nappe took place in the Late Silurian. The Stavfjord Nappe was thrust towards the south-east as a major asymmetric anticline - the Stavfjord Anticline - with an axial plane dipping about 40 degrees towards the north-west. A general description is given of some ore and building- stone occurrences. |
