the latest Tertiary overlie and are controlled by fans (deltas). Slump scars, gullies, zones of nondeposition due to currents, debris flows, and levees are identified. The Skralinge, Christian, Pining canyons, and other significant features are mapped in greater detail. Paleo-shelves and slopes of the continental margin are defined in seismic profiles. Differential erosion by the canyons reveals lithologic differences which further delineate the older structures. Implications for structural traps and resource deposits are encouraging if technology becomes available for the challenge.
