(a) Location of the Porcupine Basin (yellow) in the context of the Irish Atlantic margin. (b) Generalized stratigraphy of the Porcupine Basin (modified from Shannon, 199230), with indication of the main tectono-sedimentary events. Names and ages of the eight calibrated depth surfaces deriving from 2D seismic interpretation are also shown (TNU stands for Top Neocomian Unconformity). (c) Qualitative idealized cross section across the eastern margin of the Porcupine Basin, derived from original seismic interpretations. The inferred position of updip-pinching base-of-slope turbiditic sandstones is shown. This kind of sandstones are the key object of the present study.
