New data implying crustal activation of Eastern Avalonia along the Anglo-Brabant fold belt are presented. Late Ordovician subduction-related magmatism in East Anglia and the Brabant Massif, coupled with accelerated subsidence in the Anglia Basin and in the Brabant Massif during Silurian time, indicate a foreland basin development. Final collision resulted in folding, cleavage development and thrusting during the mid-Lochkovian to mid-Eifelian. In the southeast of the Anglo-Brabant fold belt, Acadian deformation produced basin inversion and the regional antiformal structure of the Brabant Massif. The uplift, inferred from the sedimentology, petrography and reworked palynomorphs in the Lower Devonian of the Dinant Synclinorium is confirmed by illite crystallinity studies. The tectonic model discussed implies the presence of two subduction zones in the eastern part of Eastern Avalonia, one along the Anglo-Brabant fold belt and another under the North Sea in the prolongation of the North German–Polish Caledonides.

Caledonian Orogeny

A complete log-stratigraphical breakdown of the Middle Ordovician to lower Silurian shale-dominated succession is presented for the Bornholm–Skåne–Kattegat area in southernmost Scandinavia. A wireline log zonation developed for the onshore Bornholm Palaeozoic shales is extended to include the offshore Palaeozoic shales in the adjacent Rønne Graben. A complete log zonation scheme for the Cyrtograptus shale (late Llandovery–Wenlock) and the lower part of the Colonus shale (Ludlow) is presented including correlation within the Bornholm–Skåne–Kattegat area. The Cyrtograptus shale in the Bornholm area is estimated to be 400 m thick and marks the shift to a rapidly subsiding foreland basin, heralding the Caledonian Orogeny.
