Seismic stratigraphy of the Guinea Plateau before, during and after the opening of the Equatorial Atlantic Gateway | Geological Society, London, Special Publications
The Guinea Plateau contains a ∼200-million-year stratigraphic record, encompassing
the mid-Cretaceous opening of the Equatorial Atlantic Gateway (EAG). Here we present
new 2D seismic data to constrain...
