In situ weathered rocks on plateaus, slopes and strandflat areas of the Lofoten-Vesterålen, North Norway
Thick sandy‑silty saprolites occur on some plateaus and lower areas of the Lofoten‑Vesterålen islands. Their location and their thickness (up to 8 m) suggest a pre‑Weichselian or pre‑glacial origin. But their composition does not imply warmer climatic conditions than now. Thus an influence of postgl...
