Statement

These data consist of a simplified network of Variscan faults derived from the 1:1 500 000 Tectonic Map of Britain, Ireland and adjacent areas (1996). The fault map was created by selecting the largest structures across the the UK to develop a 3D geological model for the northern and southern early Carboniferous limestone (ECL) provinces.
