Provenance of Triassic sandstones in the basins of Northern Ireland—Implications for NW European Triassic palaeodrainage

Palaeodrainage models for the mixed fluvial‐aeolian systems, which supplied detritus to Triassic basins on and offshore Britain and Ireland are well established. Basins such as those across Northern Ireland are not as well understood. Provenance studies of Triassic sandstones in the Slyne Basin offshore western Ireland and in basins west of Shetland have indicated that sediment supply was through a southward flowing fluvial system.
