Kattsund-Koster dyke swarm
Large geological structure in Norway and Sweden / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kattsund-Koster dyke swarm is a dyke swarm of Mesoproterozoic age in southeastern Norway and the West Coast of Sweden. The most prominent outcrops are in the Koster Islands in Sweden and Kattsund in Norway, hence the name. The dykes are made up of tholeiitic diabase and some dykes of intermediate composition. Some dykes are deformed and metamorphosed into amphibolite. Radiometric dating has shown that the dyke swarm is about 1421 million years old. Geologists have suggested that the dyke swarm is related to extensional tectonics.[1]
