“…anomalously low porosities) with respect to empirically derived baseline trends (e.g. Hillis et al ., ; Hillis, , b; Hansen, ; Japsen, , , ; Ware & Turner, ; Storvoll et al ., ; Japsen et al ., ; Holford et al ., ; Tassone et al ., ). To date, there has been no systematic application of this technique to quantify exhumation magnitudes in the FSR, despite its widespread and successful application in other basins around the British Isles (Hillis, ; Mackay & White, ) such as the North Sea Basin (Hillis, ; Japsen, , , ), Inner Moray Firth (Hillis et al ., ), West Orkney Basin (Evans, ), East Irish Sea Basin (Ware & Turner, ; Holford et al ., ) and Slyne Basin (Corcoran & Mecklenburgh, ).…”
