Description
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
Name From the Norwegian name for a falcon (4 species, all belonging to the genus Falco, are found in northern Norway).
Definition The type section is defined in the interval from 2221 m to 2024 m (log depth) in well 7120/2-1, on the Loppa High (Fig 9.20); Table 9.1). The base corresponds to 2225, 7 m in core depth (Fig 9.24). The formational base reflects an abrupt change from non-marine, reddish brown conglomerates of the Ugle Formation to dark grey, marine shales and marks the first marine transgression in the area; this gives a log response characterised by a change toward overall lower readings on the gamma ray log as a result of the transition into carbonates (Fig 9.20). The formation otherwise shows a noisy log patte
