Composition of Pre-Salt Siliciclastic Units of the Lower Congo Basin and Paleogeographic Implications for the Early Stages of Opening of the South Atlantic

The Lower Congo Basin (LCB) is a rift-type basin with petroleum systems that developed at the western African margin in association with the opening of the South Atlantic. Two pre-salt siliciclastic units of the LCB, Lucula (uppermost Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous) and Chela (Aptian) formations, were...
