Hypersaline (Na–Ca–Cl) fluids are associated with late‐stage quartz veining and retrogression of garnet, kyanite and other high P–T phases in the vicinity of thrusts and major lithological boundaries in the Scandian nappes of the Troms‐Ofoten region, northern Norway. They record early Devonian fluid...
