Precambrian primary volcanic structures in the Alta-Kvænangen tectonic window, northern Norway

In a small area in the western part of the Alta-Kvænangen window it has been possible to reveal the presence of a minimum of six basaltic lava layers separated by tuff/tuffite beds. The lavas have well-preserved primary structures including pillow lava, columnar jointing, pillow breccia, and pipe ve...
