A Post-Caledonian Dolerite Dyke from Magerøy, North Norway: Age and Geochemistry
A post-Caledonian dolerite dyke from Magerøy, North Norway: age and geochemistry DAVID ROBERTS, JOHN G. MITCHELL & TORGEIR B. ANDERSEN Roberts. D., Mitchell, J. G. & Andersen, T. B.: A post-Caledonian dolerite dyke from Magerøy, North Norway: age and geochemistry. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 71, pp. 28�294. Oslo 1991 . ISSN 0029-196X. A post-Caledonian, NW-SE trending, dolerite dyke on Magerøy has a geochemicalsignature comparable to that of continental tholeiites. Clinopyroxenes from three samples of the dolerite gave K-Ar ages of ca. 312, ca. 302 and ca. 266 Ma, suggesting a Perrno-Carboniferous age. In view of low K20 contents of the pyroxenes and the possible presence of excess argon, it is argued that the most reliable estimate of the emplacement age of the dyke is provided by the unweighted mean value, namely 293 ± 22 Ma. This Late Carboniferous age coincides with the later stages of a major phase of rifting and crustal extension in adjacent offshore areas. The dyke is emplaced along a NW-SE trending fault. Parallel or subparallel faults on Magerøy and in other parts of northem Finnmark may thus carry a component of Carboniferous crustal extension in their polyphase movement histories.

Catalogue Summer 2012
JONATHAN POTTER ANTIQUE MAPS CATALOGUE SUMMER 2012 INTRODUCTION 2012 was always going to be an exciting year in London and Britain with the long- anticipated Queen’s Jubilee celebrations and the holding of the Olympic Games. To add to this, Jonathan Potter Ltd has moved to new gallery premises in Marylebone, one of the most pleasant parts of central London. After nearly 35 years in Mayfair, the move north of Oxford Street seemed a huge step to take, but is only a few minutes’ walk from Bond Street. 52a George Street is set in an attractive area of good hotels and restaurants, fine Georgian residential properties and interesting retail outlets. Come and visit us. Our summer catalogue features a fascinating mixture of over 100 interesting, rare and decorative maps covering a period of almost five hundred years. From the fifteenth century incunable woodcut map of the ancient world from Schedels’ ‘Chronicarum...’ to decorative 1960s maps of the French wine regions, the range of maps available to collectors and enthusiasts whether for study or just decoration is apparent. Although the majority of maps fall within the ‘traditional’ definition of antique, we have included a number of twentieth and late ninteenth century publications – a significant period in history and cartography which we find fascinating and in which we are seeing a growing level of interest and appreciation. AN ILLUSTRATED SELECTION OF ANTIQUE MAPS, ATLASES, CHARTS AND PLANS AVAILABLE FROM We hope you find the catalogue interesting and please, if you don’t find what you are looking for, ask us - we have many, many more maps in stock, on our website and in the JONATHAN POTTER LIMITED gallery. -

December-2016.Pdf
the hollstein journal december 2016 It is my great pleasure to write these first few lines introducing our first e-newsletter. Via this medium, which we aim to publish at least twice a year, we will keep you informed about various Hollstein projects: more in depth information about some of our current projects, new research, publication schedules, as well as other activities connected to Dutch and Flemish and German prints before 1700. In this first issue you will be introduced by Ad Stijnman to Johannes Teyler and the à la poupée printing technique. These volumes to be published in our series The New Hollstein Dutch & Flemish Etchings, Engravings and Woodcuts, 1450-1700 will be the first ever to be in full colour. Some of our previous volumes on the oeuvres of Hendrick Goltzius and Frans Floris already included a few colour plates but Teyler’s substantial oeuvre covers every colour of the rainbow. Marjolein Leesberg will discuss Gerard and Cornelis de Jode. Her research on the De Jode dynasty resulted in such a wealth of new material that we decided to divide The New Hollstein Dutch & Flemish volumes into two separate publications. The first will cover Gerard and Cornelis de Jode and the second following comprises the subsequent family members Pieter de Jode I, Pieter de Jode II, and Arnold de Jode. With the end of the year quickly approaching, I, on behalf of the whole team, would like to take the opportunity to wish you a Merry Christmas and a prosperous 2017. Frits Garritsen Director johannes teyler and dutch colour printing 1685-1710 The group of prints compiled for the forthcoming The à la poupée process had been used since 1457,2 New Hollstein volumes concern what are known as usually inking copper plates but also woodblocks in ‘Teyler prints’. -
On the History of Naming the North Sea
On the History of Naming the North Sea Bela Pokoly (Commission on Geographical Names, Ministry of AgricuUUfe and Regional Development, Department of Lands and Mapping, Hungary) The North Sea - where it is - how it grew in importance The sea is situated in the northern part of Western Europe roughly between the eastern coast of Britain, the 61st parallel in the North, the southern coasts of Norway, a small part of the SE coast of Sweden, the western shores of Denmark, the north- western coasts of Gennany. as well as those of [he Netherlands and Belgium, with a tiny French coastal part (around Dunquerque). Its area is about 225 thousand sq. miles, a little more than the land area of France. Being a shallow sea (overwhelmingly covering the continental shelves except in the Norwegian Trench where at one point it is almost 400 fathoms deep) it also holds a relatively small amount of water. Fig. L {slide} The North Sea belongs to the better-known seas not only in Europe, but throughout the world. Its familiarity has especially grown at great scales smce the 1970's as output of petroleum and natural gas from its continental shelf achieved global importance. As the Hungarian scholar of geography M. Haltenberger wrote in his book Marine Geography (1965) the rough waters of the sea had been avoided by both the Romans and traders of the Hanseatic League. The importance of the sea started to grow only after the great discoveries as the Atlantic Ocean became the "Mediterranean Sea of the new times". - 4 - % , '." Earliest occurrences of the name of the sea Prehistoric people moved little from the area they inhabited, therefore, if it was a seacoast, they called the sea without any specific name, just "the sea", [n later times, when people realized that their sea was not the only one, did they begin to give specific names to seas, The ancient Greek scholar Strabon, who lived between 60 B,C. -

Russian Fishing Activities Off the Coast of Finnmark*A Legal History1 Kirsti Strøm Bull*, Professor, Faculty of Law, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway
Arctic Review on Law and Politics Vol. 6, No. 1, 2015, pp. 3Á10 Russian Fishing Activities off the Coast of Finnmark*A Legal History1 Kirsti Strøm Bull*, Professor, Faculty of Law, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway Abstract The rich fishery resources off the coast of Finnmark have historically attracted fishermen from other parts of Norway and from neighbouring countries. This article discusses the legal history of Russian fishing activities off the coast of Finnmark and covers the historical period from the 1700s until the termination of this fishery in the early 1900s. The article shows that Russian fishermen, like the Sa´mi from Finland*and unlike fishermen from other nations, were authorized to establish shacks and landing places. Both the agreements and legal disputes surrounding the fishery, which lasted until World War I, are discussed in the article. Keywords: fishery; Russia; legal history; rights to marine resources; Finnmark; The Lapp Codicil Received: August 2014; Accepted: September 2014; Published: March 2015 1. Introduction protecting fishery resources for the benefit of Finnmark’s own population* From far back in time, the rich fisheries off the coast of Finnmark have attracted fishermen from beyond the county’s own borders. Some of these fishermen, known in Norwegian as nordfarere (‘‘northern seafarers’’), came from further south along the Norwegian coast, specifically from the counties of Nordland and Trøndelag. Others came from further east, from Finland and Russia. In more recent times, fishermen started to arrive from even further afield, notably from England. When the English trawlers ventured into Varangerfjord in 1911, they triggered a dispute between Norway and England concerning the delimitation of the Norwegian fisheries zone that continued until 1951, when the matter was decided by the International Court of Justice in The Hague. -

Wittenberger Einflüsse Auf Die Reformation in Skandinavien Von Simo Heininen, Otfried Czaika
Wittenberger Einflüsse auf die Reformation in Skandinavien von Simo Heininen, Otfried Czaika Wittenberg war der wichtigste Impulsgeber für die Reformation in den beiden skandinavischen Reichen, dem dänischen und dem schwedischen Reich. In beiden Reichen war die Reformation stark vom Einfluss der Obrigkeiten geprägt, al- lerdings verlief sie in den beiden frühneuzeitlichen Staaten sehr unterschiedlich. Am raschesten wurde das Reformati- onswerk politisch wie kirchenrechtlich im dänischen Kernland gesichert; Schweden dagegen war zwar de facto bereits vor 1550 ein lutherisches Land, de jure jedoch erst im letzten Jahrzehnt des 16. Jahrhunderts. Besonders in den eher peripheren Teilen Skandinaviens, insbesondere Norwegen und Island, ging die Reformation Hand in Hand mit einer poli- tischen Gleichschaltung von Skandinavien und wurde deshalb entsprechend zaghaft von der Bevölkerung angenommen.

Anfang des 16. Jahrhunderts war die Union dem Ende nahe – es gab zunehmende Spannungen zwischen Dänemark und Schweden, das von Reichsverwesern aus dem Hause Sture regiert wurde.

Gising Dead-Reckoning; Historic Maritime Maps in GIS Menne KOSIAN
13 th International Congress „Cultural Heritage and New Technologies“ Vienna, 2008 GISing dead-reckoning; historic maritime maps in GIS Menne KOSIAN Abstract: The Dutch mapmakers of the 16th and 17th century were famous for their accurate and highly detailed maps. Several atlases were produced and were the pride and joy of many a captain, whether Dutch, English, French, fighting or merchant navy. For modern eyes, these maps often seem warped and inaccurate; besides, in those times it still was impossible to accurately determine ones longitude, so how could these maps be accurate at all? But since these maps were actually used to navigate on, and (most of) the ships actually made it to their destination and back, the information on the maps should have been accurate enough. Using old navigational techniques and principles it is possible to place these maps, and the wealth of information depicted on them, in a modern GIS. That way these old basic-data not only provides us with an insight in the development of our rich maritime landscape over the centuries, but also gives an almost personal insight in the mind of the captains using them and the command structure of the fleets dominating the high seas. Keywords: historic Dutch maritime maps, georeferencing historic data, maritime archaeology Introduction The Dutch maps from the 16th and 17th centuries were famous for their accuracy and detail level. These charts were also very popular with seafarers, both in the Netherlands, as in other seafaring nations of that time. Many of those charts had, in addition to the editions for actual navigational use also editions for presentation, often beautifully coloured and bound together into atlases.
