Fig. 5. Seismic images of the Upper Palaeozoic succession in the southern Norwegian

Barents Sea. For location of the sections, see Fig. 2.

 5a: Loppa High from its crest eastwards towards the Bjarmeland Platform, showing fault control on sedimentation and reefoid features in both the Gipsdalen and Bjarmeland groups.

5b: Central Bjarmeland Platform, showing an even development of all 4 major units and the reefoid features typical for the Bjarmeland Group.

5c: Northern Finnmark Platform showing half-grabens controlling the Billefjorden Group’s development and dramatic thickening of the Gipsdalen Group (with reefoid buildups) towards the platform margins.

5d: Finnmark Platform, showing half-graben formation affecting the development of the Billefjorden Group - note the marked thickening northwards on the platform.
