Correlation and biostratigraphy of the Kortrijk (Sint-Antonius) and Kortrijk (Lust) boreholes (early Silurian, Belgium)

Abstract

Since their drilling, respectively in 1961 and 1971, the 83W421 Kortrijk (Sint-Antonius) and 83W44 Kortrijk (Lust brewery) boreholes have been studied rather extensively for biostratigraphical information. Three fossil groups are included in these studies : graptolites, chitinozoans and acritarchs.
