Internal architecture and sedimentary evolution of coarse‐grained, turbidite channel‐levee complexes, Early Eocene Regência Canyon, Espírito Santo Basin, Brazil

ABSTRACT Successions of Early Eocene coarse‐grained turbidites up to 400 m thick fill fault‐controlled canyons along the eastern Brazilian continental margin. They form part of a Late Albian to Early Eocene transgressive succession characterized by onlapping, deepening‐upward sedimentation. In the Lagoa Parda oil field (Regência Canyon, Espírito Santo Basin) the turbidite facies consist mostly of unstratified conglomerate and sandstone, with …
