The Rogaland Anorthosite Province (RAP) – a typical Proterozoic Anorthosite–Mangerite– Charnockite (AMC) plutonic complex exposed in the Sveconorwegian orogen in South Norway – was emplaced diapirically through the crust, along a shear zone, at c. 933–916 Ma.

One of several irregular, plagioclase-phyric felsic veins in the Lillevik ophiolite fragment (Gratangseidet Igneous Complex) in Narvik, northern Norway, yielded a U–Pb zircon age of 494 ± 5 Ma. The veins cut deformed, compositionally layered, light REE-depleted gabbros that arguably constituted part of the now-dismembered ophiolite stratigraphy. The felsic veins were themselves deformed, probably during Silurian Scandian deformation, but the cross-cutting relationships suggest that they post-date initial deformation of the ophiolitic rocks. The felsic veins are strongly depleted in heavy REE and have moderately juvenile Lu–Hf zircon compositions, with εHf494 between 6.2 and 9.9. By analogy with felsic rocks in other Caledonian ophiolites and supported by cross-cutting relationships, the chemical and isotopic data can be interpreted to reflect formation by partial melting of basaltic rocks in the presence of residual garnet. In this case, the felsic veins probably post-date ophiolite formation and obduction onto a continental margin. We therefore interpret the age of 494 Ma to represent the minimum age of formation of the Lillevik ophiolite fragment. Previously published age, isotopic and chemical data from the region document an at least 20 Myr-long complex magmatic evolution following ophiolite obduction. The new data show that Late Cambrian to Early Ordovician ophiolite fragments extend along most of the length of the Scandinavian Caledonides. The tectonic significance of a previously published age of 474 Ma from the Gratangseidet Igneous Complex and 481 to 469 Ma ages from a tonalite sheet in the nearby Lyngen ophiolite, both interpreted to reflect ophiolite formation, needs to be tested by obtaining whole-rock geochemical data from these units. ablation cathodoluminescence LA–ICP–MS using ablation.

Rock specimens and contained fossils collected in 1976 from a submarine tunnel driven between Herøya and Rafnes in the Skien–Langesund area of southern Norway, have been restudied. The contained fossils include olenid and agnostoid trilobites, graptolites and brachiopods, groups described in detail for the first time from the area and documenting a Cambrian–Ordovician boundary section unique in the district where the upper Cambrian Alum Shale Formation is elsewhere overlain by the Middle Ordovician Rognstranda Member of the Huk Formation (Kundan in terms of Baltoscandian chronostratigraphy). The hiatus at the base of the Huk Formation is thus smaller in the section described herein, beginning at a level within rather than below the Tremadocian. Estimated thickness of the Alum Shale includes 10–12 m of Miaolingian and 20–22 m of Furongian strata with trilobite zones identified, and a Tremadocian section of 8.1 m identified by species of the dendroid graptolite Rhabdinopora (unpublished) shot above the transect. The seismic data reveal the submarine continuation of the steep boundary escarpment of the Cambrian–Ordovician rocks typical of the landscape to the south of the tunnel location. The Lower Palaeozoic strata of the Skien–Langesund District typically dip eastwards towards the Permian plutons, and are cut by numerous faults and igneous dykes related to the Permian rifting of the Oslo Region. All the Middle–Late Ordovician formations described from outcrops in the Skien–Langesund District can be recognised in the tunnel section. However, a detailed stratigraphic investigation is beyond the subject of this work.
