Tectonic environment, geochemistry and petrology of the Tromsøysound iron ore

The geochemistry, mineralogy and associated basic rocks of the Tromsøysound iron ore field was studied for this thesis. The iron ore field is located in the Tromsø Nappe an ultra-high-pressure terrain in Troms, Northern-Norway, and has undergone some partial melting and metasomatism. The ore mineral...

Description
Summary:The geochemistry, mineralogy and associated basic rocks of the Tromsøysound iron ore field was studied for this thesis. The iron ore field is located in the Tromsø Nappe an ultra-high-pressure terrain in Troms, Northern-Norway, and has undergone some partial melting and metasomatism. The ore mineral is magnetite. The tectonic environment is investigated but inconclusive.
