On the formation of a carbonate-bearing ultrabasic rock at Kviteberg, Lyngen, northern Norway.

An area of crystalline dolomite, schists, and gneiss including an ultrabasic body at 60 degrees 35' N and 20 degrees 18' E is described petrographically and structurally. The ultrabasic rock contains enstatite, olivine, and dolomite as essential minerals. Overfolding and thrusting due to p...
