Crustal rheology controls the style of rifting and ultimately the architecture of rifted margins.
Here we review the formation of three magma-poor margin pairs, Iberia-Newfoundland, the …

Abstract Barremian–Aptian (Lower Cretaceous) Pre-Salt lacustrine carbonates host large
petroleum reservoirs in South Atlantic rift basins, yet remain poorly studied, in part due to the …

The South Atlantic rift basin evolved as a branch of a large Jurassic–Cretaceous intraplate
rift zone between the African and South American plates during the final break-up of western …

ABSTRACT The Lower Cretaceous presalt section in the Kwanza Basin contains an
excellent petroleum system that includes “synrift” strata (Barremian) overlain by a “sag” …

Large oil accumulation discoveries in the last decade in the pre-salt rock succession off the
Brazilian coast aroused renewed interest in carbonate reservoirs, prompting several studies …

A combined biostratigraphic and palaeoecological study of foraminifera, ostracodes and
microfacies was carried out on the Aptian in the Sítio Sobradinho section of the Araripe …

The discovery of the giant Lula Field (Santos Basin, Brazil) has focused exploration on the
pre-salt lacustrine carbonate play in both Brazil and Angola. Understanding the main …

This study reports a set of primeval marine incursions identified in two drill cores, 1PS-06-
CE, and 1PS-10-CE, which recovered the Barbalha Formation, Araripe Basin, Brazil. Based …

The aim of this study was to produce an integrative analysis of macroinvertebrates
(decapods, gastropods, and bivalves) and microfossils collected in the Romualdo …

Early Cretaceous sedimentary basins on the South Atlantic continental margins of South
America and Africa are closely related with the Gondwana break-up, and record coeval …
