Seismic Stratigraphy of the Eocene–lower Oligocene in the Uruguayan Continental Margin / Estratigrafia Sísmica Do Eoceno Ao Oligoceno Inferior Na Margem Continental Uruguaia
Abstract:The Uruguayan continental margin was generated following the fragmentation of the Gondwana supercontinent and the subsequent opening of South Atlantic Ocean. It constitutes an extensive sedimentation area in which three sedimentary basins can be found: the Punta del Este Basin, the southernmost portion of the Pelotas Basin, and the poorly defined Oriental del Plata Basin. The aim of this work was the identification and characterization of the different seismic units (seismic facies, systems tracts, depositiona… Show more
