New insights into the late Mesozoic-Cenozoic tectono-stratigraphic evolution of the northern Lofoten-Vesterålen margin, offshore Norway
2D multi-channel seismic profiles and a 3D seismic survey were utilised together with potential field and available well data to study the late Mesozoic-Cenozoic tectono-stratigraphic evolution of the northern Lofoten-Vesterålen margin, offshore northern Norway. The analysis resulted in an updated s...

2D multi-channel seismic profiles and a 3D seismic survey were utilised together with potential field and available well data to study the late Mesozoic-Cenozoic tectono-stratigraphic evolution of the northern Lofoten-Vesterålen margin, offshore northern Norway. The analysis resulted in an updated structural and stratigraphic framework, together with new and better refined structural elements. Distinct along-margin basin segmentation is evident and is imposed by NW-SE trending curvilinear transfer zones informally named as the Jennegga transfer zone, Vesterålen transfer zone system, and Andøya transfer zone. These divide the study area into three main margin segments, namely the northern Lofoten, Vesterålen, and Andøya segments. Five main rift phases of varying intensity have been recognised and refined, and they are evidenced by eight mapped fault families: pre-Jurassic, Late Jurassic-earliest Cretaceous, Aptian-Albian, Albian-Cenomanian, three individual fault families within Late Cretaceous, and Paleocene. In addition, compressional deformation features are observed and related to volcanic build-up and doming of Cenozoic successions.
