“…However, the various sequence stratigraphic schemes are based on assorted data-sets and study methods, making it challenging to correlate between the different basins. We have divided the Triassic into five second-order sequences, a subdivision that partly differs from similar sequence stratigraphic studies in the Barents Sea, Sverdrup Basin and on main Svalbard Archipelago (Embry and Mørk, 2006;Embry, 1997;Mørk, 1994;Mørk et al, 1989Mørk et al, , 1993Skjold et al, 1998;. The sequences are approximately of the same order and potentially also regional extent, but they differ in study methods, sequence stratigraphic concepts and lack of highresolution biostratigraphic control.…”
