Summary
Thirty-one selected localities are brefly described along a traverse from
Porsangerfjorden to Tanafjorden. The localities provide a general impression
of representative rock types and their deformation in the Gaissa and Lakse-
fjord Nappe Complex, as well as the mylonitic rocks in the basal thrust of
the overlying Kalak Nappe Complex. Attention is paid to the stromatolite
biostromes in the Porsanger dolomite. These biostromes, which are a some-
what unique feature of Norwegian geology, are beautifully exposed in parts
of Porsangerfjorden.
