Seiland. Dunitt med 90-95% svakt serpentinisert olivin, resten pyroksen og hornblende. Dette er det beste området innen den store olivinførende peridotitten mellom Vargsundet og Store Kufjord. Kropper med opptil 200m mektighet opptrer. Olivinen har for høyt jerninnhold (Fo 80).

	High-temperature ultramafic complexes in the North Norwegian Caledonides: I - Regional setting and field relationships.

Abstrakt:

Forkortet. Four major (25-100 km²) ultramafic complexes were developed in the Sørøy Nappe during the second phase of Finnmarkian deformation in the North Norwegian Caledonides. They were emplaced into layered mafic intrusions and show broadly similar emplacement histories and petrographic variations suggesting a related petrogenesis. The Nordre Bumannsfjord, Melkvann and Kvafjord group of ultramafic complexes developed in part by emplacement of both replacive and dilational ne-normative ultramafic sheets and dykes which progressively fragmented the layered olivine gabbro envelope. The Reinfjord ultramafic complex contains pronounced, subhorizontal modal layering and evidence of at least 3 major magmatic events. The intrusive sequences and petrographic variations represented in the complexes suggest the succesive emplacement of mantle-derived magmas with a diminishing number of liquidus phases, accompanied by in situ liquid-crystal fractionation, subsidiary hybridization and metasomatism.

Abstrakt:

A hornblende-rich zone in the peridotite of Seiland: In the island of Seiland the presence of an extensive peridotite mass was known from earlier investigations. This rock proved to be of a varying mineral composition, the more common type being hornblende-pyroxene-peridotite. As shown on the map, a zone of hornblende-rich rock crosses the peridotite mass. This rock has about 50 percent hornblende, the rest being olivine and pyroxene. There are poikilitic inclusions of olivine and pyroxene in the large hornblende crystals and there are pocket-like inclusions of peridotite in the hornblende- rich rock. The impression was gained that the hornblende-rich rock was formed by metasomatic alteration of the peridotite in a tectonic zone of weakness.

Abstrakt:

På Stjernøy, Seiland og på fastlandet ved Øksfjord og Bergsfjord finne peridotitt, pyroksenitt og lagdelt gabbro innenfor et kompleks av høymetamorfte gabbro gneisser. Den lagdelte gabbro er i alminnelighet konkordant med parallellstrukturen i de omliggende gneiser, men viser lokalt uregelmessigheter (se kart i lommen bak i boken). Også hornblenditt, karbonatitt og nefelinsyenitt forekommer, de er sannsynligvis dannet ved metasomatiske prosesser. (Forkortet)

Abstrakt:

General descriptions of the different metasediments, metavolcanics and igneous rocks within the map area are presented. Three principal map-subdivisions are recognized; (a) supracrustal Precambrian (Karelian) rocks occurring in tectonic Windiws; (b) autochthonous late Precambrian to Lower Cambrian (meta)sediments; and (c) a thick allochthonous nappe-complex od Eocambrian to Cambrian metasediments, gneisses and various igneous rocks. In addition to these lithologies, sediments of unknown age (but possibly Silurian) lying unconformably upon allochthonous gneisses are noted from the south-western corner of the map-sheet. Descriptions are given of the many types of plutonic rocks occurring within the Seiland-Stjernøy petrographic province. These include several varieties of gabbro as well as diorites, peridotites, syenite, nepheline syenite, hornblendite, carbonatite, anorthosite, trondhjemite and adamellite. The major tectonic structural subdivisions of the map-area are outlined and it is shown that the matamorphic lithologies of the allochthon, here referred to as the Kalak nappe-complex, can be readily separated into three main tectonic units, or nappes.
