GEOLOGY OF THE NORTH FALKLAND BASIN

P. C. Richards* and N. G. T. Fannin*

The North Falkland Basin comprises two main structural elements: a north-south trending graben, termed the North Falkland Graben; and a set of subsidiary basins to the west of this graben, also controlled by north-south trending extensional faults, but which have been constrained by NW-SE oriented, reactivated Palaeozoic thrust faults. The North Falkland Graben can be divided, in its northern part, into western and eastern depocentres, which are separated by a north-south trending intra-graben high.
