Numerous granite pegmatite dikes up to 5 m in width are criss-crossing the small Ånnerød peninsula near the old Ånnerød farm close to the lake Vansjø. When W.C. Brøgger visited the area in 1879 he found more than 50 small feldspar (and also quartz) quarries and prospects in the area.
One pegmatite dike, Lauritzgangen, could in 1879 be followed for about 200m, another dike, Store-Anderstaget, could be followed for about 250 m.

Mineralization age: Neoproterozoic : 908.9 ± 1.4 Ma

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
