The post-Triassic evolution of the Sorgenfrei-Tornquist Zone - Results from thermo-mechanical modelling
The Sorgenfrei-Tornquist Zone (STZ) is part of the Fennoscandian Border Zone separating the Danish Basin from the Fennoscandian Shied. The STZ as a structural element is of Palaeozoic origin and represents the north-westerly segment of the Tornquist-Teisseyre Zone, which separates the younger West E...

The STZ as a structural element is of Palaeozoic origin and represents the north-westerly segment of the Tornquist-Teisseyre Zone, which separates the younger West European crust from the older East European Platform and extends from the Black Sea to the eastern North Sea area The STZ was reactivated in Triassic-Jurassic extension and Late Cretaceous and Paleogene compression.
