| Multichannel seismic reflection profiling has revealed that the basalt layer on the Outer Voring Plateau is underlain in places by steeply dipping layered reflectors. Two opposing theories have been considered for the origin of the layered reflectors: (1) They are Mesozoic sediments deposited before the Tertiary opening of the Norwegian Sea. (2) They are Tertiary deposits formed during the early stage of opening of the Norwegian Sea by seafloor spreading. The authors find that: (a) magnetic anomaly 24 can be traced continuously from the Lofoten Basin on to the Voring Plateau, associated with the oldest seafloor generated in the opening of the Norwegian Sea; (b) the layered reflectors form a characteristically shaped wedge that coincides with anomaly 24;... |

| Recent results indicate that the margins often exhibit complex structural patterns revealing a great variety in structural style as well as depositional regime. Thus, at the present state of the art it appears difficult to synthesize the available information into one or a few type sections. Some of the fundamental questions relate to how the change from continental to oceanic crust takes place along the margin. |
