| Summary: | Project 74-5/719 Generalization of results from parametric and exclusive prospecting drill holes on the shelf of the Barents and Kara Seas.Reasons for drilling:1. Comprehensive study of properties, composition and lithologic-facial features of sedimentary rocks from the geological section in the West Svalbard.2. Obtaining information for stratification of the section and its allocation with geophysical sections.Technical results:The hole was drilled from 24.07.1979 till 01.01.1980. It has penetrated the section of 2236 m and stopped in Proterozoic metamorphic rocks.Scientific results:1. Comprehensive lithologic and paleontological (different fauna groups, leaf flora, sporen, polen) studies of drill samples from the hole have allowed to reveal lithologic features and to carry out lithologic and stratigraphic sequence of sedimentary rocks.2. Thicknesses of the units are as followed: Proterozoic - 715 m, Jurassic - 166 m, Cretaceous - 1372 m, Quaternary - 82 m. The Mesozoic deposits are composed of ones from ... |
