Description
Summary:Model description: Digital outcrop model of the Kruseryggen and Urnetoppen cliffsides in Burgerbukta, Southern Spitsbergen. The profile shows an outcrop of the Mid Carboniferous to Late Permian deposits. The succession shows (mid-) late Carboniferous alluvial red-bed deposits of the Hyrnefjellet Formation (Fm.) which grade upwards into being interbedded by shallow-marine sandy deposits. Overlying the Hyrnefjellet is the Parallic to shallow marine sandstone and carbonates of the late Carboniferous to early Permian Treskelodden Fm. which is completely carbonate dominated towards its top. Overlying the Treskelodden Fm. is inner shelf chert deposits of the late Permian Kapp Starostin Fm. The boundary between the Treskelodden and Kapp Starostin Fm's in Burgerbukta records a major unconformity. Both the Hyrnefjellet and Treskelodden Fm's were affected by syn-sedimentary faulting in Burgerbukta area evidenced by the large amount of conglomerate deposits adn small growth faults. In addition, most clear in the Treskelodden and Kapp Starostin Fm's is Tertiary reverse faults formed during the West Spitsbergen Fold and Thrust belt. Data availability: All uploaded archives are to be extracted to the same directory for a functional working environment, i.e., at the very least consisting of a project folder with the data and metashape subdirectories. The included processing report specifies the processing parameters that were used as input for the processing software (Agisoft Metashape, v1.7.1.11797). Exported model data use CRS epsg:32633. Show and visualise on Svalbox.no : Through Svalbox we aim to take geoscientific research and education to the next level – with the simple motto of placing all key information and data sets in their correct spatial position. We bring modern technology, in particular cost-effective digital outcrops, to complement more than 200 years of geoscientific research on Svalbard. Finally, Svalbox provides a sustainable platform for sharing results, workflows and teaching material with the wider ...
