Bilstadvatnet-Storaneset forekomst, Lund, Rogaland, Norge
Oxide- and apatite-rich modally layered gabbronorite in the Bjerkreim-Sokndal Layered Intrusion in the Rogaland Anorthosite Province. The stratigraphic sequence, to which the Teksestemmen deposit belong, is conventionally denoted MCU4-e and may be followed along strike from Rappstad in the southern extension around the hinge of the Bjerkreim lobe to Ualand in the north-eastern extension - a total distance of approximately 25 km. The two uppermost zones in MCU IV (the e- and f-zones) contain apatite in addition to ilmenite and magnetite. The stratigraphic thickness of the two zones exceeds 1 km in the central part, however the economic part is restricted to the lowermost part (50-170 m) of zone e. The zone of economic interest is further restricted to the northeastern part of the Bjerkreim lobe, the area between Terland and Ualand, a total distance of ~10 km.
The profile was sampled along wave-washed outcrops on the shore of the Bilstadvatnet lake. Here an 80 metres thick sequence of cm-dm-scale layered melanocratic gabbronorite is exposed. In the area of Bilstadvatnet the thickness of MCUIVe zone has increased slightly compared to the Teksevatnet area. In the area of Storaneset the thickness of this geological unit is in the order of 1000 m. The economic part representing Zone C however is restricted to the lowermost 50-100 metres of the sequence.
