... mudstone of the Oksedal Member and turbiditic sandstones of the Bredehorn Member (Fig. 3 ) ( Surlyk et al. 1986 ; Stemmerik & Piasecki, 1991 ; Kreiner-Møller & Stemmerik, 2001 ; Stemmerik et al. 1998 ). The uppermost part of the Schuchert Dal Formation and the lowermost part of the overlying...

... , 137 p. The upper Oksedal Member contains a Late Permian invertebrate fauna of brachiopods ( Martinia ), solitary rugose corals ( Calophyllum ), ammonoids ( Paramexicoceras ), and foraminifera, including Ammobaculites, unidentified nodosariids, Ammodiscus, and Glomospira ( Pattison...

... of the overlying Schuchert Dal Formation ( Scholle et al . 1993 ). This unit is generally divisible into an Oksedal Member (silty shales) and a Bredehorn Member (micaceous sandstones with limestone boulders derived from the Wegener Halvø Formation) ( Surlyk 1990 ), although in the Wegener Halvø area the Schuchert...

... above the base of the Oksedal Member), which, on faunas recovered from lower in the Oksedal Member, is dated to the Late Permian ( Twitchett et al . 2001 ). The lack of fauna with O. eotriassicus at this locality is problematic, because, as noted by Utting et al . (2004) , the uppermost part (50 cm...

... of the regional angular unconformity 2 ( Figs 6–9 ). The Oksedal fault-block in the Mestersvig sub-basin was rotated c . 10° around a NE-oriented horizontal axis, and the uplifted crest was eroded ( Figs 6 and 7 ). The angular unconformity marks cessation of marine sedimentation and was followed by progradation...
