New insights into the geology of high-grade Caledonian marbles based on isotope chemostratigraphy

A first attempt to employ carbon and strontium isotope stratigraphy together with 1.20,000 scale mapping for chronstratigraphic Subdivision and geological correlation of non-fossiliferous sedimentary successions in the polydeformed, high-grade, marble-dominated terrane has been successful. The isoto...

Description
Summary:A first attempt to employ carbon and strontium isotope stratigraphy together with 1.20,000 scale mapping for chronstratigraphic Subdivision and geological correlation of non-fossiliferous sedimentary successions in the polydeformed, high-grade, marble-dominated terrane has been successful. The isotope stratigraphy was based on 315 analyses of major and trace elements, as well as on 231 delta(13)C(carb) and delta(18)O and 104 Sr-87/Sr-86 whole-rock analyses of calcite and dolomite marbles, representing all major marble units of the Narvik, Evenes and Niingen nappe complexes, and the Bogen Group in the north-central Norwegian Caledonides.
