Geology of the northernmost part of the Meråker area.

Abstract

Four lithostratigraphical groups comprising sedimentary and igneous rocks have been distinguished in the mapped area. There are conformities and gradual transition between all these groups. The rocks have been subjected to a low grade of metamorphism, being changed to metabasites and metasediments. They are folded, with fold axes trending approximately NNE. The lithological units form narrow elongated zones dipping to the west. In the eastern part of the area an asymmetrical syncline has been observed.
