From widespread Mississippian to localized Pennsylvanian extension in central Spitsbergen, Svalbard by J.-B. P. Koehl, J.-B. P. Koehl, J. M. Muñoz-Barrera

“…<p>In the Devonian–Carboniferous, a rapid succession of clustered extensional and contractional tectonic events is thought to have affected sedimentary rocks in central Spitsbergen, Svalbard. These events include Caledonian post-orogenic extensional collapse associated with the formation of thick Early–Middle Devonian basins, Late Devonian–Mississippian Ellesmerian contraction, and Early–Middle Pennsylvanian rifting, which resulted in the deposition of thick sedimentary units in Carboniferous basins like the Billefjorden Trough. …”
