Hulbert A G, Terrington R L. 2015. Metadata report for the south-west Pennine Basin and adjacent area 1:250 000 resolution geological model. British Geological Survey Internal Report, OR/14/027.

The surfaces were generated from the structural depth contour plots. Well control was applied after initial surface modelling.

Surfaces modelled are (numbers relate to stratigraphic order):

01 Variscan Unconformity

02 Base Warwickshire Group

03 Top Namurian

4 Top Dinantian

5 Caledonian Unconformity
