Abstract/Summary

This report forms part of the UK Stratigraphical Framework Series (UKSFS) and provides an overview of the stratigraphy of the Aptian-Albian (Lower Cretaceous) of southern and eastern England (and adjacent offshore areas). This interval includes the Lower Greensand and the Selborne Groups, the latter comprising the Gault and Upper Greensand Formations and coeval strata of the East Midlands Shelf. This interval forms a coherent body of transgressive marine siliciclastic deposits between the terrestrial to marginal-marine Wealden Group and the carbonates of the Chalk Group. The study adopted a surface to subsurface approach and makes extensive use of borehole geophysical log data. Stratigraphical picks based on geophysical log correlations were used to construct thickness maps. These maps were used in conjunction with borehole correlation panels to understand regional trends in thickness and lithology and how these evolved during Aptian-Albian marine transgression.
