Abstract

Abstract Density values from 223 rock samples from Bornholm are listed together with previously known values, and a separate table gives the mean density values with the corresponding standard deviations. It is found that the Ronne Granodiorite and the Paradisbakke Migmatite are much alike, having a mean density of 2.75 and 2.74 g/cm3, respectively; likewise the Vang Granite, the Svaneke Granite, and the Granitic Gneiss are very similar, the mean value being 2.69, 2.70, and 2.68 g/cm3, respectively. Moreover the Hammer Granite and the Alminding Granite have the same value of 2.64 g/cm3. These findings are in agreement with recent mineralogical results. The diabase samples collected at the most important dykes are varying in mean density from 2.79 to 3.04 g/cm3, and the spread inside each group is rather great. Regarding the consolidated sedimentary rocks the standard deviations in general are greater and this shows that these rocks are more heterogeneous. The Nexo Sandstone, the Balka Quartzite, and the G...
