The Norway Basin is an aborted oceanic basin initiated during the onset of breakup between Norway and the coupled Greenland/Jan Mayen conjugate system in Early Tertiary time (~ 55 Ma ago). Based on a new aeromagnetic survey, we reevaluate the structure and spreading evolution of the Norway Basin and propose a more complex geodynamic history for the Norwegian-Greenland Sea. The new observations allow us to reevaluate the tectonic calendar of the Norwegian-Greenland Sea and discuss some implications on the syn-and ...
