Table 1    Modelled surfaces and the equivalent stratigraphic nomenclature used in boreholes and wells
Names of modelled surface Lexicon-RCS code Equivalent names
DTM/bathymetry n/a n/a
Base Upper Limestone Formation bULGS ULGS-CYCC Marking top Limestone Coal Formation. Base Index Limestone ILS
Base Limestone Coal Formation bLSC LSC-CYCC LSC and the top of limestone beds TOHO-URKI-DNLS-MCDL-MCLS. Marks the top of the Lower Limestone Formation
Base Lower Limestone Formation bLLGS LLGS-CYCC Marking the top of the West Lothian Oil-Shale Unit. Base Clackmannan Group CKN, Hurlet Limestone

Member HUR and other equivalent limestone names
HUR = BRLS = DMLS = UCRC = GILS = STMB = CHSL = W
KL = HAWL = CBLS = PALS

Base West Lothian Oil-Shale Formation bWLO = base Aberlady Formation ABY = base Calders Member CDE = base Pittenweem Fm PMB WLO-CYCS Base is Humbie Shell bed/Marine band (lowest McGregor Marine Band) HUSB = Redhall marine band RDH = Cuniger Rock Marine Band CRMB = Saltoun marine Band SAMB

In boreholes, the Lawmuir Formation (LWM) was also recalled as it is the base of possible prospective succession. Legacy codes including URO (Upper Oil Shale Group) were recalled and examined to see if they penetrated into Burdiehouse Lmst or Gullane equivalent strata, also UCSM (Upper Calciferous Sandstone Measures)

Base Gullane bGUL/Fife Ness FNB and/or Top CPV/ASV/GHV GUL-CYCS Strathclyde Group SYG was also recalled and checked to see if it was base GUL equivalent. Legacy codes used include Lower Oil-Shale Group LRO and Lower Calciferous Sandstone Measures LCLC and Calciferous Sandstone Measures CSM

Further detail of the modelled stratigraphy is given in Monaghan (2014)[1].
