The influence of halokinesis on prograding clinoforms: Insights from the Tiddlybanken Basin, Norwegian Barents Sea
Abstract Although the trajectory and geometry of clinoforms in different types of basins have been described in many studies, few studies discuss the influence of halokinesis on clinoforms in salt‐related basins. In this study, we analyse the Lower Cretaceous clinoforms in the Tiddlybanken Basin, No...

Forward stratigraphic modelling shows that in salt‐related basins and other tectonically active basins, the isolated use of conventional methods for clinoform analysis might lead to potential interpretation pitfalls such as misinterpretation of trajectories and overestimation of foreset angles, which can have negative consequences for exploration models.
