This report is primarily based upon the interpretation of oil industry 2D seismic data, and aims to elucidate aspects of Cenozoic tectonostratigraphic development in the Faroe–Shetland region, especially with regard to post-breakup compression. Evidence of Cenozoic and Late Cretaceous pre-breakup co...
