Abstract

One km-high and 10 km-long mountainside exposures in the Eocene of the Central Basin of Spitsbergen allow a detailed examination and walk-out of 150-350m high, progradational to aggradational, clastic shelf-slope-basin floor clinoforms. This provides an unusual opportunity to analyze the nature and geometry of the linkage between shelf, slope and basin floor lithosomes, and particularly the possible controls on the occurrence of deep-water, basin-floor sandstone successions (20-100m thick). The latter occur only 6 times during the infill of the basin.
