Extract

The Anglo–Brabant Massif has formed a positive structural element since the Acadian orogenic phase in mid–Devonian times. As a consequence, the Caledonian basement lies at relatively shallow depth across the massif, encompassing a large area of southern Britain, the southern North Sea, southern Netherlands, Belgium and northern France (Fig.1).
