A rapid digital computing method for the direct calculation of the shapes of two-dimensional sedimentary basins of known density contrast from their residual gravity anomalies is described. In conclusion an example of the use of the method in determining the shape of the Dumfries New Red Sandstone basin (South Scotland) is given.
