Geological Outline of the Norwegian Continental Margin Between 60° and 68° North
Abstract
Geophysical observations over the Norwegian continental margin between 60° and 68°N have revealed the existence of an elongated north-northeast trending sedimentary basin that seems to be a continuation of the North Sea Basin. The basin is bounded on the east by the metamorphic rocks of the Norwegian Caledonides and to the west by the marginal escarpments and the Jan Mayen Fracture Zone.
Refraction seismic measurements give thicknesses of up to 4.5 km for sediments with less than 3.9 km./sec velocities. The age of these sediments is thought to range from Jurassic through Tertiary. This compares with a maximum 10 km thickness to magnetic basement as indicated by aeromagnetic measurements, the balance probably being represented by Triassic and older sediments.
