Abstract:Rift basins typically comprise three main tectono‐stratigraphic stages; pre‐, syn‐ and post‐rift. The syn‐rift stage is often characterised by the deposition of asymmetric wedges of growth strata that record differential subsidence caused by active normal faulting. The subsequent post‐rift stage is defined by long‐wavelength subsidence driven by lithospheric cooling and is typified by the deposition of broadly tabular stratal packages that drape any rift‐related relief. The stratigraphic contact between syn‐ a… Show more
