Geological magazine : Vol. 90 Iss. 1-6 Year. 1953Summary: Abstract
A structural study of rocks of the Hecla Hook formation in the area of Forlandsundet of Vestspitsbergen reveals the presence of two B–axes. The earlier (B1) trends roughly east–west and affects only the Hecla Hook formation; the later axis (B2) trends roughly north–south, and affects also rocks of Carboniferous age. It is suggested that B1 is the main “Caledonian” axis in this area, and that B2 and the roughly north–south “grain” of the rocks concerned are Lower Tertiary phenomena.
