UK Stratigraphical Framework Series : Mercia Mudstone Group

This report forms part of the UK Stratigraphical Framework Series (UKSFS) and provides an overview of the stratigraphy of the Mercia Mudstone Group across southern UK, extending offshore into the English Channel, East Irish Sea Basin and Southern North Sea. The work is based on interpretation of borehole geophysical logs and published records of cored boreholes. The emphasis of the report is on regional structure, thickness and facies trends in the Mercia Mudstone Group, and should provide a framework for site-specific geological investigations that require understanding of this stratigraphical interval.
