Glaucophane Schists of Caledonian age from Spitsbergen
Summary Glaucophane schists from Oscar II Land in western Spitsbergen are described for the first time. Although lawsonite, aragonite and pumpellyite have not been found, the mineral assemblages correspond generally with glaucophane schist assemblages known from elsewhere. The results of three XRF c...
