Figure 12 (A) Paleogeographic reconstruction of gross depositional environments in the central and northern North Sea during the early-to-mid Kimmeridgian (modified from Fraser et al., 2003), marked by retreat and drowning of the Troll delta system (6-series of the Sognefjord Formation; Dreyer et al., 2005). (B) Simplified outline of the Troll Field, highlighting major blocks bounded by normal faults that post-date deposition of the Sognefjord Formation. The location of the modeled area and a stratigraphic cross section across Troll West (Figure 12C) are shown. (C) Schematic cross section through the Troll delta system of the Sognefjord Formation in Troll West, from west (paleoseaward) to east (paleolandward). Major shallow-marine tongues (labeled 1-series to 6-series, using the nomenclature of Dreyer et al., 2005) and their component parasequences are shown (after Gibbons et al., 1993).
