Descrição

The Dublin Basin sucession comprises sediments in age from Mississippian (Courceyan) to Pennsylvanian (Langsettian). The Viséan part of. the succession is dominated by turbiditic calcarenites interbedded with grey-black shales. Namurian and earliest Westphalian rocks preserved in the Kingscourt Outlier in the north of the basin are dominated by sandstones interbedded with silstones and shales.
