Waters, C.N.; Dean, M.T.; Jones, N.S.; Somerville, I.D.. 2011 Cumbria and the northern Pennines. In: Waters, Colin, (ed.) A revised correlation of Carboniferous rocks in the British Isles / Colin N. Waters ... [et al]. Bath : Geological Society, 2011. Geological Society of London, 82-88.
Carboniferous rocks within the Cumbria and northern Pennines region are bound by
the Maryport–Stublick–Ninety Fathom Fault System, which forms the northern
boundary of the Lake District and Alston blocks (Fig. 12.1). In the Pennines, the
succession occupies the Alston and Askrigg blocks and the intervening Stainmore
Trough, a broadly east-west trending graben. Carboniferous strata also flank the Lake
District High, occurring at outcrop in north Cumbria, Furness and Cartmel (south
Cumbria) and the Vale of Eden, and in the subsurface in west Cumbria. The Askrigg
Block succession is separated from that of the Craven Basin (Chapter 11), to the
south, by the Craven Fault System.
