- Fig. 1 An overview of the North Sea Area and the adjacent Northern Atlantic region during the Paleozoic (left) and Post Meozoic times (right). The tectonic complexity of this area becomes quite clear from this image as three different foldbelts are ‘transformed’ in an intensively rifted area. This process has happens in several different stages and is absolutely not spatially homogenous. The area encircled in red is the area of mainly focus on in this article; the North Sea Basin.

Willem,
Thank you very very much for this. It is a great overview of the structural development in the NS. Many geologists will have been or are still involved with this region and I made it sticky for more people to read and comment on.
Thanks again!
