The paper presents an outline of lithostratigraphy (Middle/Upper Proterozoic–Lower Ordovician: Hecla Hoek Succession) and architecture of the Caledonian basement in which several thrust-sheets and thrust-folds have been recognized. It also discusses some aspects of Tertiary overthrusting, faulting and rotation with affected the basement rocks and remodelled its Caledonian architecture.}, type={Article}, title={Caledonian basement in NW Wedel Jarlsberg Land south of Bellsund, Spitsbergen}, URL={http://sd.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/110644/PDF-MASTER/ppr25-003.pdf}, keywords={Arctic, Spitsbergen, Middle/Upper Proterozoic, Cambrian, Ordovician, Caledonian basement, lithostratigraphy, tectonics}, }
