Abstract
Deep seismic reflection profiles over the Anglo–Brabant massif in the southern North Sea reveal reflection patterns throughout the crust that are distinctive and which differ significantly from those observed beneath adjacent areas with Mesozoic basins. Comparisons with reflection profiles from other platform areas suggest that the reflection patterns indicate large-scale structural features associated with compressional tectonics. If so, they may represent thrust structures associated with continental accretion of preferred Caledonian age.
