“…Thus, in the early Middle Pleistocene the Southern North Sea, south of ∼55°N, formed an extensive delta system, comprising deposits known, in the UK sector, as the Yarmouth Roads Formation (e.g. Stoker et al ., ). The Anglian/Elster glaciation (MIS 12), represented by glacigenic sediments of the Swarte Bank Formation, marked the end of this continuous deltaic sedimentation.…”

“…The sediment thicknesses thus illustrated agree reasonably well with modern studies for the Southern North Sea, but underestimate the thicknesses currently accepted in modern studies of the Central North Sea (e.g. Stoker et al ., ; Ottesen et al ., ); in the latter region the sediment thickness depicted on this map is that above the Upper Regional Unconformity, which is now regarded as the base Middle Pleistocene rather than the base Pleistocene.…”

“…a). Although in previous site‐survey and regional reports, these sediments were originally interpreted as possessing a simple layer‐cake stratigraphy (Stoker et al ., ,b; Cameron et al ., ; Gatliff et al ., ), the acquisition of high‐quality, high‐resolution 2D seismic data has revealed that this sedimentary sequence has undergone major glaciotectonic disruption during the mid‐Pleistocene glaciation. The data are further used to erect a thin‐skinned glaciotectonic model involving proglacial to ice‐marginal glaciotectonic thrusting followed by post‐tectonic deposition to explain the evolution of the part of the Central Graben.…”
