  Over 
  the 
  Porsanger 
  dolomite 
  follow, 
  in 
  the 
  Porsanger 
  

   district, 
  the 
  metamorphic 
  thrust 
  rocks, 
  and 
  accordingly 
  

   the 
  originally 
  higher 
  sequence 
  can 
  not 
  be 
  followed 
  further 
  

   here. 
  

  

  Younger 
  beds, 
  of 
  the 
  Var 
  anger 
  series, 
  are 
  found 
  on 
  the 
  

   Varanger 
  Peninsula 
  further 
  east, 
  where 
  we 
  have, 
  especi- 
  

   ally 
  on 
  the 
  north 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  fjord, 
  excellent 
  sections

  Cliff 
  of 
  Varanger 
  series 
  of 
  alternating 
  beds 
  of 
  red 
  and 
  ripple- 
  

   marked 
  sandstone 
  and 
  yellow-weathering 
  impure 
  dolomite. 
  North 
  coast, 
  

   between 
  the 
  Tanafjord 
  and 
  Vardo. 
  

  

  through 
  a 
  sedimentary 
  series 
  of 
  quite 
  remarkable 
  thick- 
  

   ness. 
  To 
  the 
  west 
  occurs 
  here 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  dark 
  shales 
  or 
  

   slates 
  with 
  thin 
  layers 
  of 
  quartzitic 
  sandstone. 
  They 
  

   rest 
  upon 
  a 
  light-colored 
  sandstone 
  which 
  I 
  believe 
  over- 
  

   lies 
  the 
  Porsanger 
  dolomite. 
  Even 
  if 
  this 
  sequence 
  is 
  not 
  

   yet 
  determined, 
  we 
  know 
  that 
  the 
  dark 
  shale 
  must 
  be 
  

   younger 
  than 
  the 
  Porsanger 
  series, 
  as 
  the 
  latter 
  is 
  met 
  

   with 
  in 
  the 
  most 
  western 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  Varanger 
  Peninsula,
