Abstract

The following new field relations were found this summer in the region between Ravns Storø and Sukkertoppen. On western Nordland there is an anorthosite horizon with a maximum width of 6 km and a minimum length of 25 km which is the widest anorthosite so far known in West Greenland. This is a layered anorthosite grading into anorthositic norite which has been migmatised marginally by the surrounding hypersthene gneisses, but which is well preserved in its centre.
