Abstract

[

First detrital zircon provenance study of the Billefjorden Group on Bjørnøya, Svalbard. The East Greenland Caledonides formed a long‐lived source terrain in northeast Greenland. Syn‐sedimentary faulting, drainage shifts and changing fluvial styles have little influence on detrital zircon age spectrum.

, ABSTRACT

In this contribution, we document changes in detrital zircon ages in the upper Devonian (Famennian) to lower Carboniferous (Mississippian) Billefjorden Group on Bjørnøya, the southernmost island of Svalbard. This alluvial, coal‐bearing clastic succession is widely distributed across the archipelago and the Barents Shelf. The sediments were deposited in subsidence‐induced lowlands that formed just after regional post‐Caledonian collapse‐related extension, which created the classical ‘Old Red Sandstone’ basins during the Devonian, and prior to localised rift‐basin development in the middle Carboniferous (Serpukhovian–Moscovian). Moreover, the succession is little affected by Ellesmerian compressional deformation, which occurred in the latest Devonian. However, little is known of the provenance and regional sediment routing in this tectonically transitional period between the post‐Caledonian structuring events in the Devonian and the middle Carboniferous rifting. It has previously been invoked that a regional fault running parallel to the western Barents Shelf margin, the West Bjørnøya Fault, controlled sedimentation in the area. Here, we combine detrital zircon U–Pb ages and sedimentological data to investigate stratigraphic provenance variations and test whether tectonics controlled deposition of the Billefjorden Group on Bjørnøya. Sedimentological investigations demonstrate changes in fluvial style with intercalations between successions dominated by meandering channel fills and abundant overbank fines to sandstone‐dominated sheet‐like successions of braided stream origin. Palaeocurrent data show that two competing drainage directions accompany the changes in fluvial architecture. Northeasterly transport directions, recorded in the braided stream deposits, indicate possible fault‐transverse drainage. The detrital zircon content in these deposits indicates sourcing from Caledonian terranes in Northeast Greenland. Northwest‐oriented transport directions, measured in the meandering channel deposits, are inferred to represent axially positioned drainage systems. These may have been sourced from either Northeast Greenland, a more localised source, or Baltica. The latter would require long‐distance sourcing, which, given the tectonic setting of the region, seems unlikely. Although our sedimentological observations point to syn‐tectonic deposition, this is not clearly captured in the detrital zircon data, suggesting a common source for the Late Devonian–Mississippian fluvial systems of Bjørnøya. Thus, combined with previously published provenance data from Svalbard and Greenland, we demonstrate that the East Greenland Caledonides formed a long‐lived and significant source area which provided sediments to nearby basins from the Devonian to the Early Cretaceous.
