The tale of the oldest recovered sedimentary strata from the Netherlands

Sander Houben and co-author Geert-Jan Vis recently published a paper in which they discuss the age and depositional environment of the oldest sedimentary strata recovered from a couple of wells drilled in the Dutch sector of the North Sea. Learn how the Netherlands looked like more than 400 million years ago and how it is possible to assign an age to rocks that old! For a read through, here is the link to the paper in the Netherlands Journal of Geosciences.
