Abstract

The post-Rotliegend to Lower Cretaceous stratigraphy of the Auk Horst is extremely heterogeneous. Laterally, stratigraphic sections change over very short distances across faults with stratigraphic heterogeneity resulting from the interplay between uplift, erosion, and deposition related to Central Graben tectonism. Significant hiatuses exist. Subaerial exposure has been instrumental in creating porous and permeable successions. -from Author
