WebWe present new field observations from Selwicks Bay, NE England, an exposure of the Flamborough Head Fault Zone (FHFZ). We combine these with U-Pb geochronology of syn- to post-tectonic calcite mineralisation to provide absolute constraints on the timing of deformation. The extensional frontal fault zone, located within the FHFZ, was active at … WebSummary The Flamborough Head chalk cliffs (Yorkshire, UK) are an outstanding outcrop of once deeply-buried tight-chalk and are likely to be representative of sub-surface chalk reservoirs in nearby onshore and offshore regions, i.e. the North Sea. These chalk outcrops display a very complex fracture network, which has been widely described and which has … fixed income attribution systems
