Abstract
The Late Cretaceous-Danian Chalk Group is buried at depths varying from 0 to more than 3 km in the<br>North Sea Basin. Nature has thus conducted a dramatic experiment that allows us to study the effect of this<br>large depth variation on the seismic velocity and hence on the compaction of the chalk.
