Km-scale mounds and sinkites formed by buoyancy driven stratigraphic inversion
Abstract Oligo-Miocene strata in the northern North Sea comprise hundreds of enigmatic km-scale sand-cored mounds. We investigated these using a basin-scale 3D seismic dataset coupled with petrophysical logs and cuttings mineralogy for hundreds of wells. Here we document the discovery of ‘sinkites’,...
