Determining the timing of post-Caledonian brittle faulting in northern Norway is important for the understanding of the extensional tectonic evolution of the north Norwegian continental margin. Fault gouges from the Troms and Vesterålen regions of northern Norway yield Carboniferous to Permian and C...
