| Abstract/Notes | AbstractThe area yields marbles, schists, and quartzites, probably of Hecla Hoek age, a series similar in lithology to those in the Kongsfjorden region. Their structure and metamorphic condition fit in with the general picture of Caledonian trend and of increasing orogenic activity westwards. Later faulting along the western edge of a graben has broken this ground up into independent blocks as witnessed by the disposition of the Devonian conglomerates. The youngest rocks are a southerly outlier of the plateau basalts best seen around Woodfjorden, remnants of at least two flows are preserved, both of olivine basalt rich in olivine phenocrysts and carrying inclusions of a more alkaline rock type. |
