Microfacies, Depositional Environments, and Diagenesis of the Amapa Carbonates (paleocene-Middle Miocene), Foz Do Amazonas Basin, Offshore Ne Brazil
Abstract
dc:descriptionA total of 2,795 thin sections were studied, representing the carbonate section of 18 wells drilled in the Foz do Amazonas Basin, offshore northeast Brazil. The Amapa Formation (Paleocene-Middle Miocene) consists of a carbonate platform adjacent to a landward fluvio-deltaic system which periodically prograded over the platform. The latter became discontinuous in the central portion of the basin after the Oligocene, when transverse canyons were developed connecting the deltaic complex to the open sea.
