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. figure-1.jpg [ 365.02 KiB \| Viewed 37342 times ] File comment: Fig. 2 An overview of the different tectonic phases and events active on the North Sea Area during the Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic. figure-2.jpg [ 77.43 KiB \| Viewed 37342 times ] File comment: Fig. 3 Paleogaeographic reconstruction of the North Sea area and surrounding plates during the Caledonian phase.

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! _________________ E&P Geology Messageboard Administrator
