These maps, prepared in the context of a TNO regional mapping project, are supported by nine regional structural cross sections and a table summarizing the timing of tectonic activity from Carboniferous to recent. These new regional maps enable the delineation of various structural elements but also reveal the development of these elements through time with improved detail. Since the latest Carboniferous the tectonic setting of the Netherlands changed repeatedly. During successive tectonic phases several pre-existing structural elements were reactivated and new elements appeared. The various identified regional structural elements are grouped into six tectonically active periods: Late Carboniferous, Permian, Triassic, Late Jurassic, Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic. This study demonstrates that many structural elements and fault systems were repeatedly reactivated and that a clear distinction exists between long-lived elements, such as the Roer Valley Graben, and short-lived structural elements, such as the Terschelling Basin. date: 2006-12 date_type: published publication: Netherlands Journal of Geosciences volume: 85 number: 4 publisher: Cambridge University Press pagerange: 245-276 id_number: DOI: 10.1017/S0016774600023064 issn: 0016-7746 official_url: https://doi.org/10.1017/S0016774600023064 access_IS-EPOS: limited owner: Publisher citation: Duin, E.
