Detailed Mineral List:

ⓘ 'Amphibole Supergroup'
Formula: AB2C5(T8O22)W2
ⓘ 'Apatite'
Formula: Ca5(PO4)3A
ⓘ Baryte
Formula: BaSO4
ⓘ Calcite
Formula: CaCO3
ⓘ Celadonite
Formula: K(MgFe3+◻)(Si4O10)(OH)2
ⓘ Dalyite
Formula: K2ZrSi6O15
Habit: Grains often with subhedral to euhedral K-feldspar inclusions and commonly surrounded by phlogopite
Colour: colourless, transparent to brown translucent
ⓘ Eckermannite
Formula: NaNa2(Mg4Al}Si8O22(OH)2
Description: Reported as eckermannite by Furnes et al. (1982). However, the electron microprobe data published by Furnes et al. doesn't fit the redefinition of eckermannite (IMA2013-136).
ⓘ 'K Feldspar'
ⓘ 'Labuntsovite Supergroup'
Description: Furnes et al. 1982) describes a "labuntsovite" from Dalsfjorden. An analysis of the material shows in wt% MgO 0.73%, MnO 0.24% and FeO 2.41% and relative little Na (1.21%) and K (4.27%).
ⓘ Microcline
Formula: K(AlSi3O8)
ⓘ Phlogopite
Formula: KMg3(AlSi3O10)(OH)2
ⓘ Saponite
Formula: Ca0.25(Mg,Fe)3((Si,Al)4O10)(OH)2 · nH2O

Geochronology

Mineralization age: Permian : 256 ± 6 Ma to 261 ± 6 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.
