Summary
This report presents results from 2190 magnetic susceptibility measurements on shallow stratigraphic core from the eastern part of the Norwegian Barents Sea (i.e. Svalis Dome, Nordkapp Basin and Finnmark Platform). The cores represent a total of 1730 metres. The main aims of the project are to characterise and interpret variations in magnetic susceptibility in the Palaeozoic and Mesozoic sedimentary successions offshore eastern Finnmark and to identify the mineralogical source of the magnetism in these sediments. The interval between measurements was originally set to 50 cm. However, some cores were too disintegrated to form a definite and convenient volume.
