Abstract
Abstract The author has found two Swedish occurrences of thin crusts of limestone deposited on the lee‐sides of glaciated rocks (localities Solna and Gardvik, see map). Similar deposits have earlier been found in the coast regions of Sweden and Norway and have been described as quaternary stromatolitic limestone of organic‐marine origin (Hoeg 1929—1934, Westergard 1934). The author has shown that this kind of limestone has been formed by subglacial precipitation of calcium carbonate in a pressure melt water, essentially following a theory presented 1936 by Ljungner (cf. Bohlin 1943). The author discusses the origin of a kind of limestone that has been called “Quaternary stromatolitic limestone” and whose distribution seemed to be limited to the Atlantic coast areas of Scandinavia (Hoeg 1929, 1931a, 1931b, 1932 and 1934; Westergard 1934; Bohlin 1943.) The present author has found two new Swedish occurrences, one in the eastern part of Sweden (Solna 6—8 m above sea level) and one in the northern part (Gardv...
