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.conferenc
