The geology of the Leirpollen area, Tanafjord, Finnmark.
900 metres of sedimentary rocks, including Eocambrian tillits, have been mapped on 1:50 000 and 1:25 000 scales around Leirpollen and correlated with Vestertana Group which outcrops on the Digermul Peninsula. The rocks consist almost entirely of clastic sediments; volcanic rocks are absent and carbo...
