ABSTRACT
well
data were used to establish the general
sequence
stratigraphic
and structural framework of the central Mississippi Canyon and northern
Atwater
Valley pro-traction
areas, northern deep Gulf of Mexico. The continental slope consists
of a complex allochthonous salt system including the Rum roho salt system,
two
isolated salt stocks, and the Sigsbee salt nappe. The depositional
setting
is characterized by three deep intra-slope minibasins and one suprasalt
minibasin. The bulk of Oligocene-Pleistocene sediments that filled
these mini-basins
are primarily turbidites (sheet sands, channel-levee complexes, and
overbank deposits) sourced from the Mississippi Delta system.
