The surfaces were generated from the structural depth contour plots (Chadwick et al., 1983[1]). Well control was not directly used.

Surfaces modelled (Figure 4) are (numbers relate to stratigraphic order):

01 Base Tertiary
02 Base Lower Greensand
03 Top Corallian
4 Top Cornbrash
5 Top Penarth Group
6 Top Variscan Basement
