Depositional and tectonic setting of the Saltwick Formation in the Cleveland Basin near the town of Whitby in northern England, showing the primary structural elements of the basin and adjacent areas of Scotland and the North Sea during the Aalenian. This tectonic framework, together with paleoflow indicators within the contemporaneous terrestrial deposits, places tight constraints on the potential catchment for the rivers of the Saltwick Formation. Map is based on information in Bradshaw et al. (1992).

Examples of the fine-grained channel, and overbank Facies Associations. (a) Mudstone-dominated channel deposits (FA3) associated with FA2 exposed north of Long Nab in the Scalby Formation. The main channel fill deposit is mudstone with an occasional thin lenticular fine-grained sandstone layer. (b) Small ribbon-shaped crevasse channel with extended splay sheet sandstone from the Saltwick Formation exposed at High Whitby. (c) Coarsening-upward splay complex deposits at Cloughton Wyke in the Gristhorpe Member and detailed sedimentology of interdistributary bay-fill splay complex with tidal sedimentary structures, cut and fill nature and traces of rooting. (d) Fining-upward heterolithic levee deposits on the top of the older channel bar deposits at Whitby West Cliff in the Saltwick Formation. (e) Shallow lake or ponded floodplain mudstone deposits at the South of Long Nab in the Long Nab Member. (f) Grey massive floodplain mudstone deposits at Whitby West Cliff in the Saltwick Formation.

Floral distribution through the lithological units that comprise the Ravenscar Group. Data derived from Harris (1961, 1964, 1969, 1979) and Harris et al. (1974); see these works for a complete floral list. This figure shows only part of the floral dataset (i.e., those groups most likely to reveal a climatic signal). The selected floral groups (genera, families, orders, or morphological categories; cf. Rees et al. 2000, 2002) are expressed as percentages of the total number of species (N) present in each unit. Floras from locations at the base of the Saltwick Formation (e.g., Hasty Bank, Roseberry Topping) are assigned to the “lower” Saltwick Formation; “lower” and “upper” Scalby Formation equate to Moor Grit and Long Nab Members, respectively. The floral diversity allows the succession to be divided into two subtle groups: one comprising the Saltwick Formation and Gristhorpe Member and another comprising the Sycarham Member and Scalby Formation, possibly representative of environmental fluctuations.

Lithostratigraphic correlation panels and thickness variability across the Peak Fault. (a) Google Earth image taken at an eye altitude of about 1 km facing toward the cliff showing the position of the Peak Fault, coastal cliff exposure and quarry cliff exposure. (b) Drone-based 3D VO of the hangingwall coastal cliff section. (c) Detailed lithostratigraphic and facies interpretation of hangingwall coastal cliff exposure. The gully between the outcrops is the trace of the fault plane of the Peak Fault and the left side is the hangingwall block (HW) whereas the right side is the footwall block (FW). In the hangingwall side, the Saltwick Formation overlies the Dogger Formation, but in the footwall (right) side the Staithes Sandstone Formation overlies the Redscar Mudstone Formation at the same topographic level. (d) Photograph taken from c. 1 km west of the Peak Fault, at the quarry cliff exposure where the Saltwick Formation is exposed. (e) Detailed lithostratigraphic and facies description of the quarry cliff exposure. At this location, the Dogger Formation is 0.5–1 m thick and unconformably overlies the Alum Shale Member of the Whitby Mudstone Formation. The top of the Saltwick Formation is not preserved due to present-day erosion.

Controls of fault on channel architecture and variation of formation thickness. (a) Scenario-1: distribution of channel bodies with syndepositional fault movement where the Whitby Fault displacement is described as 12 m and the Peak Fault as 27 m and Saltwick Formation thickness increases in the hangingwall block as 12 and 27 m respectively in Whitby West Cliff and Ravenscar East Cliff (Alexander and Gawthorpe 1993). Between these two faults is the horst, but several thick multi-storey channel bodies (up to 20 m thick) are observed in the horst, which is unusual. (b) Scenario-2: simple downdip thickening. The channel bodies shifted through time due to normal accommodation-controlled channel avulsion. The formation thickness increased from 28 m at Whitby East Cliff through 33 m at Beacon Hill Cliff to 43 m at Ravenscar East Cliff due to downdip stratigraphic thickening of the Saltwick Formation.
