- Title
The Late Riphean Porsangerhalvøyan tectonometamorphic event in the North Norwegian Caledonides: a comment on nomenclature.
- Authors
Roberts, David
- Abstract
A case is presented for replacing the name 'Porsanger' in 'Porsanger orogeny', in the Kalak Nappe Complex of the Finnmark Caledonides, by the adjectival 'Porsangerhalvøyan'.Moreover, until proved otherwise, this deformational-diachronous unit is best relegated to the rank of a tectonometamorphic event, rather than be accorded the status of a regionally extensive orogeny.
