Description / Table of Contents:
Shell-bearing marine sediments in the Nordre Strømfjord area belong to two lithofacies, calcareous sandy gravels and calcareous muddy sands, and to four biofacies comparable to modern communities and related to the sediment lithology: epifaunal benthic and infaunal benthic facies, a current reworked 'mixed' facies and a Portlandia - Propeamussium facies. Radiocarbon dates on nine samples provide a poorly defined model of the glacio-isostatic emergence of the region. The implications of such models and their physical validity are considered in the context of these and other data, and it is suggested that curves for uplift deceleration are a useful means of obtaining the exponential constant k.
