Abstract

The southern Norwegian Barents Sea and the Northeast Greenland shelf are conjugate margins that formed a contiguous salt basin during the Pennsylvanian to Early Permian. Modern seismic data and cross-section restoration are used to evaluate three aspects of the salt tectonics: the relationship between evaporite deposition and rifting; the nature of the Gipsdalen Group layered evaporite sequence (LES); and the origin and evolution of salt-related deformation.
