Symposium "Tektonik, Struktur- und Kristallingeologie" %D 2006 %R 10.23689/fidgeo-1912 %I Universitätsverlag Göttingen %X The Lower Saxony Basin (LSB) is a part of the post-Variscan Central European Basin System. We used a 3-D reflection seismic dataset in the northern LSB, provided by RWE-DEA AG, Hamburg (c.f. Lohr et al. submitted) for our investigation, which is concerned with the detailed structural and kinematic analysis of a flower structure within Mesozoic strata. This data is used in turn to determine input parameters for further 3-D geometrical retro-deformation. The retro-deformation verifies our assumptions about the structure and tectonic processes, and gives further information about sub-seismic strain distribution with respect to the branch faults of the flower structure. %U http://hdl.handle.net/11858/00-1735-0000-0001-3429-E %~ FID GEO-LEO e-docs
