Abstract

A stratigraphical outline of the Hecla Hoek succession summarizing post-war work in Ny Friesland is presented for the first time. This shows a geosynclinal series of sediments reaching down at least 15,000 m. below Cambrian in a more or less continuous succession. It is compared with other Hecla Hoek successions in Svalbard.
