Abstract
Jurassic-Cretaceous follows Triassic history with minor change. It was an interval dominated by deposition of marine muds, silts and sands, with occasional non-marine environments on advancing deltas (Parker 1967; Harland 1973a; Kelly 1988). Subdued topography contrasted with Triassic and Paleogene terrains. But there was also Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous intrusion of basic sills and volcanism in eastern Svalbard. Figure 19.1 shows the distribution of Jurassic and Cretaceous deposits in Svalbard.Keywords
