  • Sequence Stratigraphy and Palaeogeography of the Middle Jurassic Brent and Vestland Deltaic Systems, Northern North Sea
    Sequence stratigraphy and palaeogeography of the Middle Jurassic Brent and Vestland deltaic systems, Northern North Sea ERIK FJELLAN GER, TINA R. OLSEN & JEAN LOUP RUBINO Fjellanger, E., Olsen, T. R. & Rubino, J. L.: Sequence stratigraphy and palaeogeography of the Middle Jurassic Brent and Vestland deltaic systems, Northern North Sea. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift. Vol. 76, pp. 75-106. Oslo 1996. ISSN 0029-196X. The regional development of the Middle Jurassic Brent Group (Northern North Sea) has been studied within a sequence stratigraphic framework, and four depositional sequences (Exxonian) have been recognized. The phases of Iowstand, progradation, aggradation, retrogradation and drowning of the 'classical' Brent deltaic system and a renewed deltaic progradation (the 'Vestland deltaic system') are illustrated by cross-sections and regional palaeogeographic maps. The Bajocian Brent delta progradation and aggradation developed during a period of varying rate of relative sea-levet rise, forming a continuous sheet-Iike package of delta front facies associations in front of heterogeneous delta plain deposits. The stacking pattern varies from strongly progradational near sequence boundaries at a minimum rate of sea-levet rise to aggradational during periods of pronounced sea-leve) rise. No delta incision or lowstand deposition due to major relative sea-levet falls is envisaged. The Early Bathonian delta retreat took place in retrogressive pulses, and was probably influenced by synsedimentary fault activity along the ancient Viking Graben structure, foniling an estuary in the Southern Viking Graben and gradually drowning the deltaic system in the Northern Viking Graben. After the maximum flooding of the Brent deltaic system in the Early Bathonian a second, pronounced deltaic progradation (the 'Vestland deltaic system') took place from the Central Viking Graben to ca.
