Abstract
The Billefjorden Trough, a well studied onshore analogue to Carboniferous rift basins in the Ba-rents Sea, is bounded to the west by the Billefjorden Fault Zone. Structural field analysis of a mega-breccia and adjacent strata of the Minkinfjellet Formation in the hanging wall of the Odellfjellet Fault segment of the Billefjorden Fault Zone suggests that slope failure occurred along the basin-bounding fault in the Middle Pennsylvanian during the “through-going fault zones” phase of extension, i
期刊介绍:
The Norwegian Journal of Geology publishes high-quality, fully peer-review papers from all geoscientific disciplines. Papers are commonly based on regional studies and should emphasise the development of understanding of fundamental geological processes. More specialised papers can also be submitted, but should be written in a way that is easily understood by nonspecialists, and illustrate the progress being made within that specific topic in geosciences. We also encourage initiatives for thematic issues within the scope of the Journal.
