Northern part of the Ilímaussaq Intrusion

(Taseq slope)

After a drive up to Christiansminde we walked up the Taseq slope

Our first search was for Ussingite.

Ussingite was found and named after the Danish geologist N.V. Ussing by O.B. Bøggild in 1913. It occurs as massive veins mainly in naujaite. The lens cap is 52 mm.

We did not find any Semenovite. The Ilímaussaq intrusion is the only place where semenovite has been found so far, and only at 3 localities. Below a big hole was blasted (not by us!) to get the Semenovite out.

Blasted hole to get Semenovite. The lens cap is 52 mm.
