Magnetotelluric Soundings in the North German Basin

P324 MAGNETOTELLURIC SOUNDINGS IN THE NORTH GERMAN BASIN Abstract Introduction The lithofacial character of the Lower Carboniferous in the deep subsurface of the North German Basin is characterized by two different types of facies: the clastic-terrigene Culm of the Variscan synorogene flysch stage developed in the Rhenohercynian trough (basin facies) and the carbonateous-marly-clayey development of Carboniferous limestones forming the carbonate platform of the pre-Variscan foreland (shelf facies). Asymmetric distribution of facies and thicknesses is typical of the Rhenohercynian trough and indicated by increased thicknesses of flysch sequences in its southern part and reduced thicknesses of pelagic stillwater sediments including black
