As the Gulf of Mexico recovers from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, natural resource
managers face the challenge of understanding the impacts of the spill and setting priorities …

We present a new hypothesis for the Jurassic plate-tectonic evolution of the Gulf of Mexico
basin and discuss how this evolution influenced Jurassic salt tectonics. Four interpretations …

Abstract The Gulf of Mexico is an economically important basin with more than a century-
long history of hydrocarbon exploration. However, the opening of the basin remains debated …

Abstract The South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico conjugate-margin salt basins display similar
relationships between crustal architecture and presalt and salt sequences. 3D and 2D depth …

New and existing strontium isotope data are given for several widespread evaporites from
western equatorial Pangea. The data indicate evaporite deposition occurred on proximal …

ABSTRACT The Gulf of Mexico is best understood as a subsidiary basin to the Atlantic,
resulting from breakup of Pangea. The rifting process and stratigraphy preceding opening of …

The crustal structure of the Equatorial Atlantic conjugate margins (South America and West
Africa) has been investigated using 3D gravity anomaly inversion, which allows for (1) the …

Exploration for oil in the Norphlet reservoir in the deep-water Gulf of Mexico began in 2003
at prospect Shiloh (DC269). The well found oil but not an economic volume. The second …

Intrasalt sediment packages containing siliciclastic sediments, carbonate sediments, or non-
halite evaporites such as gypsum or anhydrite are common within most salt sequences …

Subsurface sandstone samples of the Upper Jurassic (Oxfordian) Norphlet Formation erg
deposits and (Kimmeridgian) Haynesville Formation sabkha deposits were collected from …
