Abstract

ABSTRACT A revised and updated geological map of the Nilsen Plateau and a new geological map of the nearby Mt. Hassel-Mt. Bjaaland region are presented. The Gondwana succession, overlying pre-Devonian basement rocks, consists of Permian glacial beds, post-glacial shales and siltstones, deltaic sandstones, and coal measures succeeded by Triassic flood plain deposits. Jurassic dolerite sills intrude basement rocks and the Permo-Triassic beds. High-angle reverse faults displace Permian strata at the southern end of the range, and post-Jurassic normal faulting affected the whole range.
