متن کاملSeismic stratigraphy of the Bill Bailey and Lousy Bank area: implications for subsidence history
The present study discusses some results of a reconnaissance seismic survey carried out in 1988 in the area around the prominent Bill Bailey and Lousy Banks, located SW of the Faeroe Islands. The area is thought to be part of the Rockall-Faeroe microcontinent, which was flooded by Palaeocene plateau basalts.
