Faults for the Early Carboniferous Limestone in hot sedimentary aquifers in northern and southern England

This vector dataset represents the Variscan faults for the early Carboniferous limestone (ECL) in hot sedimentary aquifers in the UK, used by D J.R. Jones, T. Randles, T. Kearsey, T.C. Pharaoh, A. Newell (2023). https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geothermics.2023.102649.

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.
