Paleogene sedimentation in Central Basin of Svalbard - Depositional conditions, geochemical and mineralogical variations across PETM
This study deals with the recunstruction of depositional environments and development of transgressive-regressive sequences within the upper Grumantbyen Formation and lower Frysjaodden Formation in the Central Basin. Data from sedimentary field logging, XRD and geochemical analysis has been integrat...
