Flekkeren, Skien, Telemark, Norway

(Flekkeren, Skien, Telemark, Norge)

The locality is mainly a road cut in the small dirt-road going to Svanstul, passing the lake Flekkeren. The road is cutting a metamorphed limestone/shale xenolite surrounded by monzonitic rocks belonging to the Skrim plutone. Shale-limestone xenolite (100 x 500m) went through high-grade metamorphism in a monzonitic pluton, 41 km N of Larvik.
