Abstract

A belt of folded and faulted Carboniferous-Cretaceous platform cover strata lies parallel to and inland of much of Spitsbergen's W coast. Uplifted older basement rocks along the coast have been thrust E into and over these younger platform cover strata. This deformation occurred in early Tertiary time and was related to dextral movement of the Barents Shelf past NE Greenland during the opening of the Norwegian-Greenland Sea.-from Authors
