Fiskernæs (Fiskenaes)
Lenses of ultramafic rocks located along the top contact (major thrust zone) of the Fiskenaesset complex (anorthosite-leucogabbro intrusion in Archean gneisses) with an overlying meta-volcanite amphibolite.
Rocks with hogbomite and sapphirine are known, bounding to the West the UMF rocks.
