Description
Summary:Model description: Digital outcrop model the Treskelen Peninsula in inner Hornsund, S Spitsbergen. The model shows the foot of Hyrnefjellet to the left (North) with the famous Hyrnefjellet anticline. The anticline can be traced southwards by the bending of the outcrops along the beach. The model shows middle Carboniferous to Early Triassic outcrops of the Hyrnefjellet, Treskelodden, Kapp Starostin and Vardbukta Formations. The Carboniferous to Early Permian Hyrnefjellet and Treskelen FM's where deposited in a rift basin called the Inner Hornsund Basin and record terrestrial to paralic-shallow marine deposition of a mixed siliciclastic - carbonate sedimentary section. The Kapp Starostion and Vardebukta FM's record deposition in a deeper marine/platform environment divided by the Permian - Triassic boundary which records the largest mass extinction in Earths history. 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, v1.6.5.11249). Exported model data use CRS epsg:4326. 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 geoscientific community.
