Turøyvegen
The earthquake was caused by movements along fault zones in the bedrock where the blocks of rock chafed against each other. In Devonian time, there were many big earthquakes that caused Hordaland to be broken up along fault zones. Some of these faults are visible along road cuts between Tofteøyna and Turøyna islands. Along the Hordaland coast, earthquakes still occur sometimes, though the quakes tend to be weaker.
Manger
Mangerite is a rock type that was first made famous in a treatise by the Bergen geologist Carl Fredrik Kolderup in 1903. The rock type got its name from the place where it was found, and has made the Mangerud name well known around the world, at least among geologists.
Vågenes
On Vågenes, on one of the prominences out toward Eitrevågen, one finds garnets in anorthosite. The garnets are both older, and not least bigger, than average.
