Abstract
"The Caledonides form the western part of the Scandinavian peninsula; the greater part on Norwegian territory. The eastern Caledonian margin is formed by a range of nappes overthrust upon autochthonous Cambro-Ordovician sediments, which in turn rest upon the peneplaned surface of the Precambrian rocks of the Baltic shield. . . . There is no western border of the Scandinavian Caledonides; the rocks that disappear beneath the sea along the west and north coast belong to central parts of the orogenic belt."Keywords
