Thickness and distribution of sedimentary rocks in the southern Barents Sea.
Abstract
The southern Barents Sea is underlain by sediments of varying thickness and physical properties. The thick sequence of Tertiary sedimentary rocks, which is representative of the southern provinces of the Norwegian continental margin, is found only as a wedge near the shelf edge of the Barents Sea. Structures that can be associated with salt diapirs are recorded in a limited area on Tromsøflaket.
