The geology of the Komagfjord tectonic window of the Raipas suite, Finnmark, Norway.
The report is based on four summers (1956-59) of field work inan area of approximately 860 km2. The area is located in westernFinnmark, northern Norway, between 70 degrees 10' and 70 degrees 31' Nlatitude and 12 degrees 40' and 13 degrees 50' E Oslo longitude. Thepurpose of the i...
