The interplay between siliciclastic and carbonate depositional systems: Maastrichtian to Danian basin-floor sediments of the mid-Norwegian Møre Basin
Abstract Source‐to‐sink sedimentary systems associated with volcanic rifted margins serve as important archives for basin development by recording lithospheric changes affecting the depositional systems. Distinguishing between sediment transport processes and their sediment source(s) can guide the i...

Abstract Source‐to‐sink sedimentary systems associated with volcanic rifted margins serve as important archives for basin development by recording lithospheric changes affecting the depositional systems. Distinguishing between sediment transport processes and their sediment source(s) can guide the interpretation of a basin's history, and thereby inform regional paleogeographic reconstructions. In this contribution, we integrate and utilize wireline geophysical logs, detailed petrographic observations from side‐wall cores, and seismic analysis to describe and decipher a Maastrichtian to Danian‐aged basin‐floor depositional system in the deep outer Møre Basin, mid‐Norwegian margin. Well 6302/6‐1 (Tulipan) is a spatially isolated borehole drilled in 2001 that penetrates Maastrichtian and younger strata.
