The unconformity pre-dates the Bonnia-Olenellus trilobite zone; the sedimentary hiatus covers the lowest Cambrian Fallotaspis and Nevadella trilobite zones, and a closer undefined uppermost part of the Late Proterozoic. There are no Varangian (latest Proterozoic) tillites present in south Spitsbergen at the top of the Late Proterozoic metasediment column which is represented by the Gashamna Formation phyllites and associated rocks.}, type={Article}, title={The Jarlsbergian unconformity (Proterozoic/Cambrian boundary )and the problem of Varangian tillites in South Spitsbergen}, URL={http://sd.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/111133/PDF-MASTER/1991-3_269-278.pdf}, keywords={Arctic, Spitsbergen, Late Proterozoic, Early Cambrian, unconformity}, }
