The HIC complex is one of the most interesting examples of Caledonian synorogenic magmatism. This complex is described as one of the largest layered tholeiitic complexes in the upper allochthon of the Scandinavian Caledonides. The HIC represents a classic, layered tholeiitic intrusion that penetrated an active synorogenic flysch basin (Juldagnes Formation).
