“…Early studies of the thermal expansion-driven uplift (e.g. Todd & Keen 1989;Lorenzo et al 1991;Lorenzo & Vera 1992;Basile et al 1993;Gadd & Scrutton 1997;Vågnes 1997), drawing from thermomechanical finiteelement and finite-difference modelling compared with crustal thinning and erosion estimates constrained by the refraction and reflection seismic, gravity and well data, interpreted a distinct uplift. Subsequent models (e.g.…”

This paper provides an overview of the existing knowledge of transform margins including their dynamic development, kinematic development, structural architecture and thermal regime, together with the factors controlling these. This systematic knowledge is used for describing predictive models of various petroleum system concept elements such as source rock, seal rock and reservoir rock distribution, expulsion timing, trapping style and timing, and migration patterns. The paper then introduces individual contributions to this volume and their focus.

“…1). The main evolutionary phases of such a transform margin were described by Mascle and Blarez (1987), Basile et al (1992Basile et al ( , 1993, and Mascle, Lohmann, Clift, et al (1996). Dating of the events that participated in the margin's construction requires accurate stratigraphic studies of the cored sediments.…”

A set of 204 Cretaceous and Paleocene samples from Holes 959D, 960A, 960C, 961A, 961B, 962B, 962C (barren), and 962D of the Côte d'Ivoire-Ghana Transform Margin (Leg 159) were palynologically analyzed. Three main types of palynofacies were distinguished. The first type indicates strong terrestrial depositional conditions and characterizes lithologic Unit V of Hole 959D, Subunit VB and most samples of Subunit VA of Hole 960A, and Unit III of Holes 961A and 961B. The presence of some stratigraphically significant spores and pollen grains indicates a late Barremian-middle Albian age for Unit V of Holes 959D and 960A, and a middle Albian age for Unit III of Holes 961A and 961B. The second type of palynofacies reveals mixed terrestrial and marine depositional conditions. This type was observed in Subunit IIC of Hole 962B and Unit III of Hole 962D. The occurrence of stratigraphically significant spore, pollen grain, and dinoflagellate cyst species argues for a Cenomanian age for these units in Holes 962B and 962C. The third type of palynofacies indicates clearly marine environmental conditions. This type is found in Subunit IVA and Unit III of Hole 959D, where highly diversified dinocyst assemblages (73 species, among them the following three new ones: Spiniferites bejuii n. sp., Spiniferites sp. G, and Xenascus ghanaensis n. sp.) were identified. Based on the presence of several Late Cretaceous and Paleocene markers, precise age determinations are possible for this part of Hole 959D: Subunit IVA and the lowermost cores of Unit III are probably early Coniacian in age; subsequent cores of Unit III are Santonian, Campanian, Maastrichtian, Danian and, at the top, late Thanetian in age.
