Description:
The structural evolution of a basin cannot be reconstructed from sedimentary thicknesses alone without data on palaeobathymetry. Two classes of geological horizons are defined, profiles and traces. Profiles are time-lines and bound depositional units. Traces were formed at a known water depth and contain implicit palaeobathymetric data. Reconstruction of the basin history of the North Sea is difficult due to the lack of trace-bounded units in the post-Jurassic. -from Authors
