The proposed fieldwork aims at a detailed assessment of outcrops located in northern Sarsøyra to better constrain the tectonic and sedimentary evolution of the Forlandsundet Basin.
The fieldwork will focus on a beach section and a hitherto undescribed basin-bounding fault zone.
It will include:
- A detailed description and logging of the exposed sedimentary strata
- Measurement of structural data, including fractured clasts
- Detailed description, structural logging and sampling of the fault zone
- Measurement of structural features associated with the fault zone
- Systematic sampling of fault products in the fault zone
- Comparison of deformedlithologies within the fault zone to basement lithologies exposed in the south close to the basin boundary
