“…For example, the inner part of the Finnmark Platform, here referred to as the eastern Finnmark Platform (Fig. 1), was only affected by the formation of minor Carboniferous, ENE-WSW-to NE-SW-trending halfgraben and graben structures (Bugge et al, 1995;Samuelsberg et al, 2003;Rafaelsen et al, 2008; Fig. 1).…”

“…3). Thus, this sedimentary succession benefits from a relatively high number of well penetrations and, as a result, its lateral facies and thickness variations are well-constrained Steel, 1981, 1983;Samuelsberg et al, 2003;Rafaelsen et al, 2008). The Gipsdalen Group was notably penetrated by wells 7128/4-1 and 7128/6-1 on the eastern Finnmark Platform, by well 7120/12-4 on the western Finnmark Platform, and by well 7124/3-1 on the northern flank of the southwesternmost Nordkapp basin (Larssen et al, 2002;Fig.…”

Abstract. The SW Barents Sea margin experienced a pulse of extensional deformation in the Middle-Late Devonian through the Carboniferous, after the Caledonian Orogeny terminated. These events marked the initial stages of formation of major offshore basins such as the Hammerfest and Nordkapp basins. We mapped and analyzed three major fault complexes, (i) the Måsøy Fault Complex, (ii) the Rolvsøya fault, and (iii) the Troms-Finnmark Fault Complex. We discuss the formation of the Måsøy Fault Complex as a possible extensional splay of an overall NE-SW-trending, NW-dipping, basement-seated Caledonian shear zone, the Sørøya-Ingøya shear zone, which was partly inverted during the collapse of the Caledonides and accommodated top-NW normal displacement in Middle to Late Devonian-Carboniferous times.

“…On the Finnmark Platform, an unconformity or subaerial exposure surface is also recorded on the topmost part of unit L-8 just below the overlying unit L-9 (Stemmerik & Worsley, 2005;Rafaelsen et al, 2008). This uplift was linked to the Kungurian tectonic event in the western Barents Sea resulting from the rejuvenation of older lineaments (Stemmerik & Worsley, 2005;Ahlborn et al, 2014).…”

Because of outstanding outcrops, Spitsbergen (Svalbard archipelago) provides unique opportunities to investigate the whole Upper Palaeozoic succession in great detail. This study can help to interpret the stratigraphic history and depositional evolution at other locations exposing coeval shelf strata along the northern margin of Pangea, e.g., the southern Barents Sea and Arctic Canada. Bed-scale outcrop observations are combined with microfacies studies to interpret the sedimentary settings and depositional environment of the Upper Palaeozoic strata. A sequencestratigraphic analysis has been carried out to evaluate the relative timing of sediment facies deposition in response to sea-level changes. The Early Artinskian to Kazanian successions of the Templet Member and the Kapp Starostin Formation were divided into five parasequences that are superimposed on a long-term, second-order, sea-level fall. These parasequences record a fundamental change of the sedimentary setting, from a restricted-marine, warm-water carbonate platform to an open-marine, cold-water, biosiliceous-carbonate ramp system. A cross-section across Svalbard comprising nine onshore sections shows that during deposition of the Kapp Starostin Formation a major depocentre marked by thick parasequences and a higher proportion of deep-water facies (bedded cherts) is located in the southwest of Spitsbergen (at Akseløya), whereas northeastern Svalbard records shallow-water microfacies. Svalbard was tectonically passive during the Permian; the local differences in accommodation space and facies were most likely linked to the rejuvenation of pre-existing structural elements, inherited from the Carboniferous. A deepening of the depositional environment combined with cold-water climatic conditions as recorded in our study area has also been documented in other Upper Palaeozoic successions around the Arctic, such as the Finnmark Platform (Norwegian Barents Sea) and the Sverdrup Basin (Arctic Canada). This transition in the depositional environment along the northern margin of Pangea is the result of large-scale changes in oceanic circulation patterns and local palaeogeographic changes during the northward movement of Pangea.

In the hanging-wall of the MFC on the western part of the Finnmark Platform, the 230 Finnmark Platform west (Figure 1), shows a prominent gravity low, the Gjesvaer Low, which was ascribed to the presence of low-density Caledonian rocks (Johansen et al, 1994;Gernigon et al, 2014).…”
