Abstract
The temporal and spatial distribution of the hydrocarbon-bearing Late Cretaceous and Early Tertiary
allochthonous chalk is of economic importance. Examination of cores from the UK sector of the Central
Trough has confirmed the correlation of major allochthonous chalk units to wireline log responses
dependent on high porosity. Allochthonous units were recognized from wireline log coverage of over 100
exploration wells in the Central Trough area. Correlation indicated extensive apparent lateral continuity of
allochthonous sediment packages enabling the establishment of an event stratigraphy. A minimum of
nineteen major redeposition events were recognized within the Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) and Early
Palaeocene (Danian) chalks. Essentially, synchronous sourcing and redeposition occurred on both
margins of the Central Trough but with a marked dominance of activity along the eastern margin in terms
of incorporated sediment volume. The described core material was placed in a regional context by means
of the event stratigraphy and confirmed a previously proposed relationship of depositional rock type and
transport distance. This study recognizes five principal mass-flow complexes named after their dominant
sediment source areas: Jaeren, North Hidra, South Hidra, Lindesnes and Auk. The Jaeren, North Hidra
and Auk Flow Complexes are here documented for the first time, as are other, less extensive deposits.
