Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
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. The shear zone, recently defined as the Farsund Shear Zone (FSZ), crops out along the eastern flank of the anorthosite province, and it is made up of strongly foliated, steeply dipping, banded gneisses. The banded gneisses comprise a diversity of lithologies: metabasites, granitoid gneisses, augen gneisses and kinzigitic gneisses. Major and trace element compositions of samples mostly from the banded gneisses and the neighbouring granite gneiss permit us to unravel the nature of the various protoliths. The kinzigitic gneisses result from metamorphism of pelitic sediments, while the augen gneisses belong to the high–K calc-alkaline series similar to the Feda suite (c. 1050 Ma), a major component of the Sirdal magmatic belt (SMB, 1070–1020 Ma). The metabasites comprise jotunites comparable to the intermediate rocks of the AMC suite (933–916 Ma) as well as amphibolites and norites with trace element signatures consistent with an oceanic origin. Charnockitic gneisses could result from anatexis in CO2-rich conditions or from fractionation of felsic magma similar to that of the charnockite-granite Farsund intrusion (931–926 Ma). Some leucogranitic layers have a typical REE distribution of migmatitic leucosome. Other granite layers can be distinguished from the massive granite gneiss that has higher Th, Pb and Rb concentrations and [La/Yb]N ratios, but all granites display high–K calc-alkaline affinities compatible with an island-arc origin. The granite gneiss is comparable to the SMB rocks and the granite layers to the Suldal arc lithologies (c. 1520–1480 Ma). The FSZ hosts thin interleaved layers of rocks corresponding to the major lithologies exposed at regional scale. This includes jotunites and charnockites probably genetically related to intrusion of the c. 930 Ma anorthosite province, and a variety of granitic gneisses, metasedimentary rocks, augen gneisses, and mafic rocks with protolith ages ranging from c. 1020 Ma to c. 1500 Ma. |
