Abstract

The Ilivertalik granite has been briefly described by Kalsbeek & Myers (1973). It forms the mountain of Ilivertalik north-west of Midgård and consists mainly of a very homogeneous, relatively coarse grained brownish-weathering, hypersthene- bearing augen gneiss of granitic composition. The object of this paper is to present the results of a zircon U-Pb geochronological study of the granite and to discuss the significance of the results in terms of the regional geology and previous geochronology.
