Abstract

Three main regional tectonic events have influenced the sedimentary systems of the Guyana-Suriname Basin – 1) opening of the North Atlantic, 2) rotational opening of the South Atlantic and the transfer margin, and 3) far-field influence of Andean uplift. This presentation will address each of these events and how they have variably shaped the basin Previous HitstructureTop and sediment delivery and catchment areas.
