Berggrunden i sydvästra Sverige består av medel-, till högmetamorfa bergarter med flera metamorfa segment och skuvzoner. Det är främst den senaste orogenesen som präglat berggrunden, den så kallade Svekonorvegiska orogenesen, som skedde för 1,14-0,92 Ga sedan. Obbhult-komplexet i Halland ligger i det Östra segmentet och består främst av metabasiter med ljusare och mörkare band av finkorniga bergarThe Sveconorwegian orogeny (1.14-0.92 Ga) is one of the main tectonometamorphic events that has effected the crystalline bedrock in southern Sweden. It consists of highgrade metamorphic rocks. The Obbhult-complex east of Varberg consists mainly of metabasites and is, with its coarse-grained sapphirine, geologically unique for Sweden. The survey material for the present study is a gneissic, granuli
