Abstract

Some essential features of the general tectonic description of a region are outlined under the above heads. Tectonic style is the product of facies and orientation in their distinctive sequence, and is assumed to be independent of date. A type of tectonic sequence is outlined from Ny Friesland, Spitsbergen, with a distinct late stage elongation along the fold axes.
