| Summary: | During the last 20 years, studies have been conducted regarding the regional, or long-wavelength, geomagnetic anomalies of the lower crust of the earth. The present paper is mainly concerned with the petrologic and geophysical interpretation of the observed features. Attention is given to magnetic mineralogy and magnetic properties of high-grade rocks from Lofoten and Vesteralen, regional geology and geophysics, field measurements and sampling, magnetic mineralogy of the lower crust, the effects of metamorphism upon magnetic mineralogy and magnetic properties of high-grade rocks, susceptibility-temperature relations and the Hopkinson effect, and petrologic sources of regional crustal magnetic anomalies.
