Among the concentration of Gardar dykes in the Isortoq area are five giant dykes, four of which are multiple and consist of alkali gabbro, augite syenite and granite whilst one is essentially larvikite (Bridgwater and Coe, 1970). Individual dykes are silica-undersaturated in the east and oversaturated in the west (D. Bridgwater, quoted by Emeleus and Upton, 1976, p. 164). Both syenites and granites are peralkaline but petrographic details are not available.
