Comparative analysis of the East Barents and Sverdrup sedimentary basins

Abstract

We have revealed the features of similarity and difference in Mesozoic sedimentation history of the East Barents and Sverdrup sedimentary basins based on sea areas, sedimentary masses per time unit and coefficient of the sand content. During the end of Paleozoic and in Mesozoic times both basins have been located near each other but didn’t merged into the one great basin.
