Structural investigations in the northern part of the Bergen area (western Norway) have been earried out on the major, 2-3 km-thiek, late/post-Caledonian, extensional Bergen Are Shear Zone. This shear zone dips steeply SW with a ehange in strike from 115-120° in the northeast to 150-160° in the southwest, over a distance of 50 km. The footwall eonsists of the autochthonous Western Gneiss Complex and the lowermost Caledonian Nappes. The hanging wall eonsists of strueturally higher Caledonian Nappes uneonformably overlain by eoarse Devonian eonglomerates. The orientation of the mylonitic foliation within the shear zone, in addition to several types of shear-sense indieators, predominantly indieate a dextral shear component. The related stretehing lineation pl unges about 20° W to NW, implying a significant eomponent of normal slip, as indieated by the regional geology. The minimum displacement on the Bergen Are Shear Zone is approximately 16 km, with a normal dip slip eomponent of 8 km, and a dextral strike slip eomponent of 14 km. The Bergen Are Shear Zone post-dates all Caledonian eontraetional deformation in its vieinity. We suggest that the Bergen Are Shear Zone represents a braneh of the Nordfjord-Sogn Detaehment Zone, the main Devonian detaehment, developed as an oblique-lateral ramp.
