A quantitative analysis of an Upper Westphalian fluviodeltaic succession and a comparison with earlier Westphalian deposits in the Kent Coalfield
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Summary
The Upper Westphalian succession in the National Coal Board's Eastling Wood Borehole, 1976 ‘TR 6303 1472’ has been analysed in terms of upward-fining and upward-coarsening semicycles, transition probabilities and entropies. This analysis confirms that the succession can be divided into a lower coal facies, which like the earlier Westphalian deposits of Kent was laid down dominantly in deltas but which includes numerous channel-fills, and an upper channel facies laid down in a more upstream fluvial environment.
